Main group nonmetals

Complex carbides are very numerous. Many newer compounds of this class have been discovered and their stmctures elucidated (20). The octahedron M C is typical where the metals arrange around a central carbon atom. The octahedra may be coimected via corners, edges, or faces. Trigonal prismatic polyhedra also occur. Defining T as transition metal and M as metal or main group nonmetal, the complex carbides can be classified as (/)... 

Re is a transition metal in group 7 I is a main-group nonmetal in group 17. Mg is a main-group metal in group 2. 

For main-group nonmetals and some metalloids, the A-group number minus 8 is the lowest oxidation number (always negative) of any element in the group. 

Does the reaction of a main-group nonmetal oxide in water produce an acidic or a basic solution Write a balanced equation for the reaction of a Group 6A(16) nonmetal oxide with water. 

Three elements sulfur [bottom]and diamond (which is carbon, top lef, which are main-group nonmetals and gold (top right), a transition metal. 

PM6 uses the real form of Slater orbitals as the basis functions. Of course, for transition elements, d orbitals are required in addition to s and p valence orbitals. To achieve improved performance, PM6 also includes d orbitals for many main-group nonmetals such as Si, P, S, Cl, As, Se, Br, Sb, Te, and I. 

A main-group nonmetal tends to gain electrons, forming an anion with the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas.
