INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY-W/SEL.SOLN.MAN.
- 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_forwardPredict die molecular structure and bond angles for each molecule or ion in Exercises 88 and 94. a. POCl3, SO42, XeO4, PO43, ClO4 b. NF3, SO32, PO33, ClO3 c.ClO2, SCl2, PCl2 d. Considering your answers to parts a, b, and c. what conclusions can you draw concerning the structures of species containing the same number of atoms and the same number of valence electrons? (O3), sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide.arrow_forward
- How many central atoms does the molecule H2NCH3 have, and what is the shape about each?arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, IF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds arc all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structure. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule docs not.) See Exercises 115 and 116 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forwardPredict the molecular structure (including bond angles) for each of the following. (See Exercises 115 and 116.) a. ICl5 b. XeCl4 c. SeCl6arrow_forward
- Predict the molecular structure (including bond angles) for each of the following. (See Exercises 115 and 116.) a. XeCl2 b. ICl3 c. TeF4 d. PCl5arrow_forwardPredict 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_forward
- 4. What will be the geometry about each central atom in the following molecules? Draw a sketch of the molecule. The skeletal structure for each molecule is listed in parentheses. a) C₂H₂ (HCCH) c) CH,NH, (H,CNH,) b) N₂H (H₂NNH₂) d) CF,COOH (both O atoms are attached to the second C, H atom is attached to O)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_forwardWhich 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
