bond order for B2^- please draw the picture and explain what I am doing wrong. I am getting six bonding electrons even though the correct answer is 5.

Can you explain why these Lewis Structures are wrong? I was told I was correct that BrF5 has 42 valence electrons, 10 bonding electrons, and 32 non bonding electrons, with 5 single bonds, and that O=CN- has 16 valence electrons, 8 bonding electrons, and 8 non bonding electrons, with 2 double bonds.
Could you please provide more details or clarify your question so that I can better assist you?
For the formula CH,CF2, *draw the Lewis structure in your work* (which I will grade when you upload it). After drawing the complete Lewis structure, type in the shape, bond angle, etc. for each blank. What is the molecular shape or geometry for the carbon on the left (the C in CH2)? What is the molecular shape or geometry for the carbon on the right (the C in CF2)?| What is the bond angle for the carbon on the left (the C in CH)? Type in a plain number, but include a "<" sign in front of the number if applicable. What is the bond angle for the carbon on the right (the C in CF2)? Type in a plain number, but include a "<" sign in front of the number if applicable. What is the hybridization for the carbon on the left (the C in CH2)? Type this in without any superscript, for instance sp3 would be typed as "sp3". What is the hybridization for the carbon on the right (the C in CF2)? Type this in without any superscript, for instance sp3 would be typed as "sp3". Is the molecule overall polar…
Also part C: How many sigma bonds are in the molecule? Thanks!
Focus on the C atom on the left as the central atom. How many other atoms are directly bonded to this C atom? How many bonding domains are there on the C atom on the left? How many lone pairs of electrons are there on the C atom on the left? How many nonbonding domains are there on the C atom on the left?
please help me understand which bonds i should be selecting. i am having trouble understanding.
Put this from most polar for 1 and least 3 I keep asking on Bartleby and they keep getting it wrong wasting my questions to ask
Give typed full explanation Look at figure 3-22 that shows the electron density that occurs abound the Si-O bond. This electron density map gives the "shape" of the O and Si atoms when they are bonded together. Think about the answer in Q9 and choose the best response below: (Select answer choice) a. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together, do not form spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent and these shared electrons affect atomic shape. This change in shape limits the applicability of Pauling's Coordination principle since that principle is based on the geometry of perfect spheres. b. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together are close to perfect spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent. This figure shows that Pauling's Coordination principle should apply very precisely to any substance that contains Si-O bonds c. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, form in a…
I wanna help to answer this question Thanks a lot
A model for SiH4 is shown in the chem3D window. SiH4 has tetrahedral geometry. ball & stick |+ labels Rotate the molecule until you have a feeling for its three-dimensional shape. How many atoms are bonded to the central atom? If you take any three of the outer atoms, what shape do they define? | Consider the bond angles at the central atom. Do they all have the approximately the same numerical value? What is the approximate numerical value of this angle? | degrees. Are all four positions about the central atom equivalent, or is one of them different from the other three. For practice, type in the name of the geometry of the molecule: Previous Next
