Question
a) Draw Lewis structures for each of the compounds below. Be sure to show
all bonding and non-bonding valence electrons. Also, clearly indicate any
formal charges on atoms.
b) Consider the molecular geometry information given for each compound
below: based on this information, specify the orbitals that each atom could
use in σ- and à-bonding (sp², sp³, p, etc.) and for holding non-bonding
electron pairs. Explain how your orbital assignments are consistent with
the observed geometries.
H₂CO (formaldehyde)
HCO-angle 120⁰
CH3CO₂ (acetate anion)
HCC-angle ≈ 109⁰
CCO-angle OCO≈ 120°
DCH=CHBr(1-bromo-2-deuterioethylene)
(two isomers)
(all atoms are coplanar)
(CH3)2SO (dimethylsulfoxide, DMSO)
HCS-angle CSO CSC≈ 109⁰
