- Depending on the protein under study, the bond angle of a drug molecule can become critical to successfully deactivating a viral protein. For this reason, chemists are frequently concerned with the 3D shape of their molecules and their bond angles. The oxygen atom shown in the structure has a tetrahedral electronic geometry, meaning we would predict that it would have 109.5° bond angles. However, the actual structure, the bond angles are smaller than 109.5°. Explain why this compression occurs. Make sure to discuss what’s happening around/what groups are present around the oxygen atom.arrow_forwardDecide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable. proposed Lewis structure : H :Z: :Z: N H I H-N-H Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable? Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* 0 Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* 0 * If two or more atoms of the same element don't satisfy the octet rule, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms don't satisfy the octet rule, enter "0,0".arrow_forwardColumn I: Draw the best Lewis structure. Label any atoms with nonzero formal charge. Column II: List the total number of major resonance contributors and draw at least two (if they exist). Column III: How many electron groups are around the central atom? Column IV: What is the electron geometry? Column V: What is the molecular geometry? Possible answers: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral, bent, trigonal pyramidal, see-saw, T-shaped, square pyramidal, square planar). Column VI: Give values of the bond angles around the central atom. (for example, 109.5°, less than 109.5°, 120°, less than 120°, etc.). Column VII: Give the hybridization of the central atom. Column VIII: State how many sigma bonds and pi bonds are present in the molecule or ion. Column IX: Is the molecule polar or non-polar?arrow_forward

Starting with the central atom, click on the double bond to add one double bond. Then add one single bond and one lone pair. Rotate the molecule to observe the complete geometry. Name the electron group geometry and molecular structure and predict the bond angle. Then click the check boxes at the bottom and right of the simulator to check your answers.arrow_forward
- Please refer to the example image to answer. You must use CER, claim-evidence-reasoning. Make sure that your answer is CLEAR. Claim is your answer to the question. Evidence is from the image and reasoning is your explanation. Proper evidence for all Lewis structures include: Carbon or most electronegative atom in center. Octet of electrons surrounding each atom. Total number of electrons depicted equals same total number of valence electrons from each participating atom. Make sure to refer to the example image because it shows the correct Lewis structures. The question you're answering is about the students drawing of CH20.arrow_forwardDraw the 2D and the 3D Lewis structure for each molecule. You do not need to show resonance structures here. Determine the electron pair geometry (EPG), the molecular geometry (MG), the bond angle (BA) around the central atom, and the hybridization of the central or bold atom. Circle the formula of any polar molecule. For molecules with more than one central atom (e.g. CH,CH,0H) give the structure around the bold atom.
