Concept explainers

Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…

Polarity Of Water

In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…

Valence Bond Theory Vbt

Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Boric acid, B(OH)3 (or H3BO3), does not lose a proton in water, but rather bonds to the O atom of an H2O molecule, which then releases an H+ ion to form the B(OH)4- ion. Use VESPR theory to draw structures, with ideal bond angles, for boric acid and the anion it forms when it reacts with water.

Draw the best Lewis dot structure for BrO₄⁻, being sure to give the electronic geometry, molecular geometry, hybridization of the central element, polarity, and bond angle around the central element.

The bond angles in the nitrite ion, nitrogen dioxide, and the nitronium ion (NO2 +) are 115o, 134o, and 180o, respectively. Explain these values using Lewis structures and VSEPR theory.
