Question

Transcribed Image Text:The three-dimensional structure of a generic molecule is given.
Identify the axial and equatorial atoms in the three-dimensional structure.
The diagram displayed is a three-dimensional molecular structure resembling a trigonal bipyramidal shape. It has a central atom shown in teal, with five surrounding atoms in gray connected via lines representing chemical bonds.
- The molecule has two distinct positions: three equatorial (in the same plane and forming an equilateral triangle around the central atom) and two axial (perpendicular to the equatorial plane).
- There is a labeled "Answer Bank" with the options "equatorial" and "axial" to fill the blank label boxes adjacent to each atom.
What is the shape of this molecule?
Options for interaction are provided at the bottom for rotating the structure along the X, Y, and Z axes, and for zooming in.

- Following 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.)
