A molecule with 5 electron domains has three lone pairs. What positions in the molecular geometry will the lone pairs occupy? Two will go in the axial positions, one in the equatorial plane. The placement doesn't matter so it will vary randomly. One will go in an axial position, two in the equatorial plane. All three will go in the equatorial plane.

I have a question regarding hybrid vs atomic orbitals: 1) What would be the hybridizations of C and O in the molecule H2CO? It asks to draw an electron orbital diagram (with arrows) of all the electrons in C before and after hybridization. 2) Draw a diagram of the H2CO molecule showing the overlap of orbitals between the C and O atoms that make up the sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds. Which orbitals make up the σ bond? Which ones form the π bond?

How can the VSEPR model be used to predict the hybridization of an atom in a molecule? Answer by selecting all true statements. O The bonding orientation predicted by the VSEPR model matches the orientation predicted using hybrid orbitals. O For a given atom in a molecule, the number of non-bonding electron domains predicted by the VSEPR model translates into the same number of hybrid orbitals. O The shape of the electron domains around the central atom is used to predict the hybridization of the atom. O Once the number of electron domains has been correctly predicted from the VSEPR model, only one type of hybrid orbital set will "match". eTextbook and Media Hint Save for Later Last saved 1 minute ago.

2) a) Consider the following molecule . Given what you have learned about hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. b) Lastly, consider the molecule below. Indicate the Molecular formula, the molar mass, label the hybridization of each atom except for hydrogen, indicate any chiral centers with a *, which bond or bonds are the shortest, identify by name of each functional group with an arrow pointing to the group.
These molecules are called constitutional (or structural) isomers because they share the same chemical formula but have different patterns of atomic connectivity. Draw as many constitutional isomers as you can for C5H8 in bond-line notation. It may be helpful to draw a Lewis Structure for one of the isomers first.
