- Why is the geometric structure of a molecule important, especially for biological molecules?arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, TF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds are all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structures. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule does not.) See Exercises 25 and 26 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forwardHow many central atoms does the molecule H2NCH3 have, and what is the shape about each?arrow_forward
- Predict the molecular structure and bond angles for each molecule or ion in Exercises 81 and 87 from Chapter 3arrow_forwardA. What is the electron-pair geometry for Xe in XeO3? There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of XeO3 is B. What is the electron-pair geometry for Se in SeH₂? There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of SeH₂ isarrow_forwardMolecular geometry (not including unbounded electrons)arrow_forward
- 1. Determine the Lewis structure, shape, and polarity of the following molecules a. BrO2-, bromite ion b. BrO3-, bromate ion c, Cl207, dichlorine heptoxide 2. Write all the valid Lewis structures of bromate ion.arrow_forward1. Draw the Lewis structure for C3H403 2. Is there a polar bond in the structure? 3. Is the molecule polar? 4. For the O atom bonded to the H, what is the electron pair geometry? 5. For the O atom bonded to the H, what is the molecular geometry?arrow_forwardUsing BEST Lewis structures and the VSEPR model, match each molecular formula with the molecular geometry that describes it.arrow_forward
- Which of the following molecules have Lewis structures with lone pairs of electrons on the center atom? A.) CCI4 B.) CO2 C.) All of them D.) OF2arrow_forward#74. With Lewis dot structuresarrow_forwardDetermine the geometry about each interior atom in each molecule and sketch the molecule. (Skeletal structure is indicated in parentheses.)a. CH3NH2 (H3CNH2)b. CH3CO2CH3 (H3CCOOCH3 One O atom attached to 2nd C atom; the other O atom is bonded to the 2nd and 3rd C atom)c. NH2CO2H (H2NCOOH both O atoms attached to C)arrow_forward
