Take a closer look at the molecule shown below, then fill in blanks a) Molecular shape of C1: b) Orbit hybridization of C1: c) Electron geometry of C4: d) Orbit hybridization of C4: e) Orbit hybridization of C5:

Consider a molecule AB3, where both element A and B have 7 valent electrons.  Predict the shape and bond hybridization of the molecule.  Your answer should follow the format: a) number of total electrons for bonding; b) Steric Number and Lone Pairs; c) name of shape based on the VSEPR chart, c) bond hybridization.

d and e only (a-c already completed)

2) a) Consider the following molecule . Given what you have learned about hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. b) Lastly, consider the molecule below. Indicate the Molecular formula, the molar mass, label the hybridization of each atom except for hydrogen, indicate any chiral centers with a *, which bond or bonds are the shortest, identify by name of each functional group with an arrow pointing to the group.

Which of the following molecular formulas, once the BEST lewis structure has benn solved always lead to a molecule which is non polar because it possesses no net dipole moment? a) SF4 b) H2O c) CH2O d) NH3 e) BF3

Specify the hybridization at the atoms labelled a-d. For each atom enter one of the following: sp3, dsp2, sp2, sp3d, or sp. Hybridizations are normally written with superscripted numbers, but OWL expects non-superscripted answers to this question. a)[ b) H c) d) H H ୦୯୯ H H H H a H
