I read this in a textbook - Bi(V) is very unstable and is a good oxidizing agent Why does it happen that way? Is it because in +5 oxidation state Bi pulls in more electrons and hence gets reduced fast or there's a different concept? Also then BiCl5 should be more stable than BiCl3 becaus...

Based on my readings, valence bond theory (VBT) and molecular orbital theory (MOT) tend to complement one another in explaining a molecule, but I don’t understand how VBT helps us explain the properties of a compound (other than bond angles). How does VBT complement MOT in aiding our understandin...

I got down votes on some of my questions and some of them closed, so, I got blocked from asking. After a period of time from being blocked, I regained the privilege of asking, but only one question that I could continue asking after it if it was positively recieved. That question got two upvotes,...
