Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The correct geometry of a carbocation and carbanion needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The arrangement of electron pairs is identified according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory wherein all the electron pairs are aligned in such a way that they are at maximum distance from each other. The structure of every molecule in VSEPR is explained by considering the steric number (combination of lone pairs and σ -bonds involved in molecule).

Draw the geometric structures of all the molecules. Write all bond angles and write the kind of geometry observed (linear/trigonal planar/tetrahedral)   CH₃CH₃ = CH₃COH = CH₃OH = CH₂CH₂ =
Consider CH4 and H2O. What is the relationship between the valence electrons in C and O, and the number of hydrogens in the compound ?
Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. The number of unshared pairs at atom a is © The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is 0. 0 e The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is e.
