2. (16 points) In a 2008 communication, Konaka et al. reported a salt containing a tetrahedral tellurate anion, Teo.?, analogous to sulfate (Inorg. Chem. 2008, 47, 4, 1244). The anion was found to react with water to form octahedral telluric acid species, Te(OH), in solution. a. What is the oxidation state of Te in Te0,2-? Write the ground state electron configuration that would be expected for Te in this oxidation state. b. Draw Lewis structures of TeO42- and Te(OH)., including resonance structures if appropriate. Write in the expected bond angles according to VSEPR theory. Read the text of the paper (attached). How close are the actual bond lengths and angles in the observed compound of Teo.? to what is predicted by VSEPR theory? What reasons does the paper give for the differences between the theoretical and actual geometries? d. According to the paper and/or ideas we have discussed in class, why does Te tend to adopt octahedral geometry in its compounds rather than tetrahedral like Sor Se? C
