Question
Chapter 3, Problem 85AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between the electronegativity of two atoms in LiCl and HF needs to be explained. Whether LiCl and HF are similar and different in bonding needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as a tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
If the difference in electronegativity of two atoms is low, the bond formed is polar covalent. If the electronegativity difference is high, the bond become ionic in nature.

Complete the following statements about the molecule COS. Please note that ALL atoms in this molecule obey the octet rule.
The molecule COS has total valence electrons.
The molecule COS should be drawn with C in the middle, O to the left of the C, and S to the right of the C.
After drawing the Lewis structure for COS using the above information, it is evident that the three-dimensional shape (or geometry) of the molecule is , with a bond angle of degrees.

1 What is the total number of valence electrons in the Lewis structure of SF?
electrons
2 Draw a Lewis structure for SF₁.
• Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges in your drawing.
• If the species contains oxygen, do not draw double bonds to oxygen unless they are
needed in order for the central atom to obey the octet rule.
