Question
#7
## Educational Content on H₂CO Lewis Structures

### For the following: H₂CO

#### State the number of valence electrons and Draw the Lewis Structure:

- **Lewis Structure:**  
  ```
  H : C : H
    ||
    O
  ```

#### State the electron domain geometry and type of hybrid orbital used:
- **Electron Domain Geometry:** Trigonal Planar

#### Orbital Diagrams:
- Orbital Diagram of Central Atom Alone, (C):
- Orbital Diagram of Central Atom in Molecule:

*Note: The aforementioned sections seem to be placeholders for diagrams that are not provided in the image.*

**Questions:**

7. In your Lewis structure for H₂CO above, label all the bonds as sigma (σ) or pi (π).
   - **a) How many sigma and pi bonds are represented?**

**Additional Question:**

- For the bonds between C and O in the Lewis structure on the previous page, describe the type of orbitals that overlap to form that bond.

*Note: The image shows content likely intended for students learning about molecular geometry, hybridization, and bonding in formaldehyde (H₂CO).*
