For each of the following molecules or molecular ions, give the steric number, sketch and name the approximate molecular geometry, and describe the direction of any distortions from the approximate geometry due to lone pairs. In each case, the central atom is listed first and the other atoms are all bonded directly to it. (a) TeH2 (b) AsF3 (c) PCl4+ (d) XeF5+
Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrite ion (NO2) . Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion. Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central nitrogen atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized MO. What bond order does the MO model predict for the NO bonds in the nitrite ion?
Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrate ion (NO3) . Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion. Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central N atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized MO. What bond order is predicted by the MO model for the NO bonds in the nitrate ion?
Compare the electron density in the 1g and 1u* molecular orbitals for H2+ shown in Figure 6.5 with the classical model for bonding for H2+ summarized in Figure 3.22b. Which of these molecular orbitals describes the bond in H2+ ?

Niacin is one of the B vitamins (B3). Estimate the approximate values of the indicated bond angles. Its skeleton (not its Lewis structure) is given below.
Ozone (O3) has a nonzero dipole moment. In the molecule of O3 , one of the oxygen atoms is directly bonded to the other two, which are not bonded to each other. (a) Based on this information, state which of the following structures are possible for the ozone molecule: symmetric linear, nonsymmetric linear (for example, different OO bond lengths), and bent. (Note: Even an OO bond can have a bond dipole if the two oxygen atoms are bonded to different atoms or if only one of the oxygen atoms is bonded to a third atom.) (b) Use the VSEPR theory to predict which of the structures of part (a) is observed.
Give the expected hybridization of the central atom for the molecules in Exercises 21 and 22.
