Question

Will you mind to help me with this question, please?

A₁B₂E2=AB=2
Molecular Shape of OF2
Step 1: Find the Central Atom
Central atom is:
Look your line bond structure on
page 1.
(1) Oxygen
(2) Fluorine
2 oxygen
¡F:
Step 3: Choose the ABE classification
Circle the correct AB E, notation.
Recall, we use (A) to represent the
central atom, (B) to represent the
number of atoms bonded to the central
atom, and (E) to represent the number
of lone pairs
AB₁E3
AB₁E₂ AB₁E
AB₂E₂
AB2
AB3
AB4
Step 5: Use the Molecular Shape
table from your notes to draw the
ball and stick representation
AB₂E
AB E
Central atom A
Batom surrounding central atom/
lone pair E llone pair central atom/
Step 2:
Count number of atoms bonded to the central
atom (B)
# of atoms bonded to central atom = B =
Count number of lone pairs on the
central atom (E)
# of lone pairs on central atom=E=
2
Step 4: Use the Molecular Shape Table from
your notes to select the molecular shape and
bond angles.
Bent
Molecular Shape=
Bond angles=110°
Step 6: Determine Polarity
Is the central atom surrounded by identical
electron groups?
Circle one: yes
If the answer was yes, then the molecule is
nonpolar. If the answer is no, then the molecule
is polar.
Is the molecule polar?
Circle one: yes
no
no
