Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the orthotellurate (Teo) anion. How many electron groups are around the central tellurium atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond.. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central tellurium atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) 8 (choose one) X 5

Following is a molecule with polar bonds whose shape was obtained using the VSEPR theory. Specify the molecular shape of this molecule, and whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. (Hint: In terms of polarity, see whether the dipoles in the molecule cancel or not. A molecule containing polar bonds can be nanpolar if the dipoles cancel each other. You can imagine the dipoles as ropes pulling on the central atom–If the pulls cancel each other, that is, the central atom cannot move, then the molecule is nonpolar. If on the other hand the opposite is true, then the molecule is polar.)

Part A) Draw the following lewis structures and give the formal charges for the atoms as well as the number of valence electrons I2 Part B)According to VSEPR theory, why are bonds and lone pairs spaced as far apart as possible? Part C)Why can we ignore the disposition of the lone pairs on terminal atoms? Part D)What are the bond angles for a molecule having an octahedral electronic geometry with two lone pairs and four bonds on the central atom?
Peter reads in a book on Organic Chemistry that “if a molecule has resonance, it will be more stable". Will any of the ions have resonant structures? Identify those who have resonance and draw all its resonant structures. Peter also reads that the more resonant structures have a molecule, the more stable it will be. According to your criterion, Which anion will be the most stable?
why are some gases polar molecules? For example, SO2 is a polar molecule and a gas. CHCl3 is a polar molecule but a liquid. How come these two examples are both polar molecules but are in different states of matter?
Create a word or name of your choice in the periodic table. Then, arrange them in order of decreasing electronegativities and ionization energies, respectively. (make 2 sets of elements).
The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element. (Express your answer as a chemical symbol.) The element in period 5 that has this valence electron congfiguration is
Choose the best Lewis structure from those presented below. (It will help to work out the missing formal charges for the atoms in these different structures) [Image description: Lewis structure A has a N atom singly bound to two O atoms. There is one electron pair on N. One O atom has three electron pairs and the other O atom has two electron pairs and another single bond to a H atom. Lewis structure B has a O atom, 01, singly bound to a N atom and doubly bound to another O atom, O2. There is one electron pair on O1 and two electron pairs on O2. On the N atom there are two electron pairs and another single bond to a H atom. Lewis structure C has a O atom, 01, singly bound to another O atom, O2, and doubly bound to a N atom. There are is one electron pair on 01 and two electron pairs plus another singly bond to a H atom on 02. There are two electron pair on N.

A chemical reaction produces formaldehyde, with a chemical formula of CH2O. Carbon is in Group 4A, oxygen is in Group 6A, and hydrogen is in Group 1A on the periodic table. In one to two sentences, can you describe the bonds in a molecule of formaldehyde in terms of valence electrons?
Predicting and naming the shape of molecules with a central atom.
An incomplete Lewis structure is shown below. The structure only shows the atoms and how they are connected. The molecule has a net charge of +1. Complete the Lewis structure giving all atoms full octets. If there is more than one way to do this, draw resonance structures showing all possibilities. If not, just draw one Lewis structure. Be sure to write in any non-zero formal charges.
