- Q1. How does the difference in the atoms' electronegativities affect the bond polarity? Explain how the direction of the arrow in the bond dipole symbol ( +→) relates to the electron density and partial charges within a bond. Q2.arrow_forwardThe formal charge is the "charge" an element would have in a molecule or ion if all of the bonding electrons were shared equally between atoms. We can draw three inequivalent Lewis structures for carbon dioxide , CO2 . The concepts of formal charge and electronegativity can help us choose the structure that is the most significant representation.1. Assign formal charges to the elements in each of the structures below. A B C Formal ChargeO1CO2 2. The structure that contributes most significantly to the overall electronic structure of CO2 is (A,B, or C) .arrow_forwardA. F3CCH3 Step 1. Draw the lewis structure Step 2.

The Lewis diagram for NH3 is: The electron-pair geometry around the N atom in NH3 is There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of NH3 is B. The Lewis diagram for AsO2 is: Recall that for predicting geometry, double and triple bonds count as only one electron pair. The electron-pair geometry around the As atom in Aso2 is There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of AsO2 is Submit Answer Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remaining Previous Next Email Instructor Save and Exit Cengage Learning | Cengage Technical Supportarrow_forward
