- please draw a lewis structure, determine the # of electron groups around the central atom, and determine the geometry of the molecule. (please state both the name of the geometry and draw the molecular shape) molecule lewis structure electron pair geometry around the central atom(s) molecular shape around the central atom(s) CO2 H2S H2O2 NF3 SO2Cl2 NO2 C2H2 C2H4 C2H6arrow_forwardFollowing 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.) O trigonal pyramidal shape, nonpolar O trigonal planar shape, nonpolar O tetrahedral shape, polar O trigonal pyramidal shape, polar O trigonal planar shape, polararrow_forwardThe compound XeCl2F2 can exist in two different forms. One form is polar and the other form is non-polar. Draw a valid Lewis structure of XeCl2F2. Then, draw two 3-dimensional representations of this molecule (including all lone pairs); one that shows the polar form with a correct dipole arrow and the other that shows the non-polar form of the molecule.arrow_forward
- Bromine is a liquid that has the formula Br2. It consists of two bromine atoms with a covalent bond between them. Would you expect Br2 to be a polar molecule? Why or why not?arrow_forwardwhy 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?arrow_forwardGive the Lewis Dot Structures, then draw the structures with the correct molecular geometry and give the name for the molecular geometry. Determine the polarity of the molecules and ions. POCl3 AsO4^3- BF3 OCN- XeF4S OF4arrow_forward
