- Testosterone is an anabolic steroid. The structure of testosterone is shown below. What is the geometry of the electron pairs at (iii) ? Hint: atom (iv) has been completed for you as an example. (iv) bond angle: 109.5°, geometry of the electron pairs: tetrahedral, shape of the bonds: tetrahedral i iii •··||||I H ····||||I ii ivarrow_forwardWhich of the following bonds are polar: (a) P—O; (b) S—F; (c) Br—Br; (d) O—Cl? Which is the more electronegative atom in each polar bond?arrow_forwardChemical species are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same Lewis structure (regardless of charge). Consider these ions and write a Lewis structure for a neutral molecule that is isoelectronic with them. (a) CN–, (b) NH4+ (c) CO3 2–arrow_forward
- For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belief to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.(a) What is the formula of the compound?(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?arrow_forwardTestosterone is an anabolic steroid. The structure of testosterone is shown below. What is the shape of the bonds at (i) ? Hint: atom (iv) has been completed for you as an example.

- Write the ground-state electron configuration for each atomand ion pair-Zr, Zr2+, Co, Co2+, Tc, Tc3+, Os, Os4+?arrow_forwardCyanogen (CN)2 is known as pseodohalogen because it has some properties like halogens. It is composed of two CN’s joined together.(i) Draw the Lewis structure for all the possible combination for (CN)2.(ii) Calculate the formal charge and determine which one of the structures that you have drawn is most stable.(iii) For the stable structure, determine the geometry around the two central atoms.(iv) For the stable structure, draw the dipole arrows for the bonds.(v) Base on the stable structure, determine the polarity of molecule and state your reason.arrow_forwardIf an element is bonded to 4 other atoms and has a formal charge of +1, what group must the element be in? I know that group 3A atoms are elctron deficient, and that period 3 elements and below, except for group 3A elements like Aluminum, can expand their octet because of their available d-orbital, which may not be relevant to this problem. I don't understand this question, or why the answer would be 5A. Is it because 5A have odd valence electrons, and can form free radicals, like NO?arrow_forward
- 8D.4. Benzene, a common solvent, is a covalent molecular compound which contains only carbon and hydrogen. Its simplest (empirical) formula is CH, and its molecular weight is 78 g/mol to 2 significant digits. What is its molecular formula? 8D.5. Draw the Lewis Dot Structure of (a) phosphorus pentafluoride. What is the formal charge on all atoms? (b) the perchlorate ion- in this case expand the octet for the chlorine atom in order to optimize the formal charges.arrow_forward(c) Draw the orbital diagrams and Lewis symbols to depict the formation of Na* and CI ions from the atoms. Give the formula of the compound formed. (d) The predicted bond length for HF is 109 pm (the sum of the covalent radii of H, 37 pm and F. 72 pm), however the actual bond length for HF is shorter (92 pm). It was observed that the difference between predicted and actual bond lengths becomes smalleor going down the halogen group from HF to HI Describe these observationsarrow_forwardWrite the electron configuration for each of the following ions and determine which one possess noble-gas configurations: (a) Sr2+; (b) Ti2+; (c) Se2-; (d) Ni2+; (e) Br-; (f) Mn3+.arrow_forward
