- a Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an extremely poisonous gas used in organofluorine synthesis. Give the valence bond description of the carbonyl fluoride molecule. (Both fluorine atoms are attached to the carbon atom.) b Nitrogen, N2, makes up about 80% of the earths atmosphere. Give the valence bond description of this molecule.arrow_forwardFor each of the following molecules, state the bond angle (or bond angles, as appropriate) that you would expect to see on the central atom based on the simple VSEPR model. Would you expect the actual bond angles to be greater or less than this? a CCl4 b SCl2 c COCl2 d AsH3arrow_forwardIn Chapter 6, we study a group of organic cations called carbocations. Following is the structure of one such carbocation, the tert-butyl cation. (a) How many electrons are in the valence shell of the carbon bearing the positive charge? (b) Using VSEPR, predict the bond angles about this carbon. (c) Given the bond angle you predicted in (b), what hybridization do you predict for this carbon?arrow_forward
- Formamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forward1.You have made structures of NH3 and H2CO molecules in the Part A of your lab report.Both NH3 and H2CO molecules have three electron groups around the central atom.However, their molecular geometries are not the same. Explain this difference. 2. Draw the Lewis electron dot structure for SCl2 and discuss its molecular geometry. IsSCl2 molecule polar or nonpolar? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardB. Answer the next two questions about the Lewis structure of XYZ shown below. メー三 -YEz: I. What is the hybridization of the central atom? II. For all covalent bonds, specify the type of bond (o vs. T) and the atomic orbitals that overlap to form the bond. For example, in a molecule of H2, the only bond is o: H(s)-H(s).arrow_forward
- Draw the 2D and the 3D Lewis structure for each molecule. You do not need to show resonance structures here. Determine the electron pair geometry (EPG), the molecular geometry (MG), the bond angle (BA) around the central atom, and the hybridization of the central or bold atom. Circle the formula of any polar molecule. For molecules with more than one central atom (e.g. CHCH20H) give the structure around the bold atom.arrow_forwardWhich of the following factors contribute to the tetrahedral shape of the above molecule? Group of answer choices A. the shape of the two p orbitals in the carbon atom B. the shape of the one s orbital in the carbon atom C. the shape of the sp3 hybrid orbitals of the electrons shared between the carbon and hydrogen atoms D. hydrogen bonding configurations between the carbon and hydrogen atomsarrow_forward5. The element sulfur (S) bonds with element T. Element I is has 7 valence electrons and needs 8 electrons for a stable octet. Element T has a lower electronegativity than sulfur Draw the 3D lewis structure (perspective) for ST| | b. What is the VSEPR molecular geometry? | c.
