How many nonbonding electron pairs are there in each ofthe following molecules: (a) 1CH322S, (b) HCN, (c) C2H2,(d) CH3F?
Oxalic acid,
H2C2O4,
a poisonous colorless solid, is found in some vegetables such as spinach and rhubarb. It is present in concentrations well below the toxic limit, so you can't use this as a reason to refuse a helping of spinach. The order of atoms in a molecule of oxalic acid is
HO2CCO2H.
(a) How many unshared pairs of electrons are on each of the carbon atoms?
(b) How many unshared pairs of electrons are on each of the oxygen atoms?
Draw the shapes of the following molecules and ions in 3-dimension. Show clearly any lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, state the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and name the shape of the molecule or ion.
(a) SiCI4, silicon tetrachloride
(b) PBr3, phosphorus tribromide
(c) CI2O, dichlorine oxide
Provide everything stated in the instructions for each compound.
