Question

For the following molecules:
I. Draw the best Lewis Dot Structures for each of the following molecules. The best structure
takes into consideration resonance structures, calculations of formal charge for each atom,
and tries to minimize the overall formal charge for the structure. 
II. Draw the 3-D VSEPR structures for the following molecules. You may combine these two
drawings (for I and II) into 1 drawing if you wish. 
III. Label the bond angles. 
IV. State the electron geometry (basic VSEPR) and molecular shape (derivative VSEPR) for
each molecule. 
V. State the hybridization around each central atom in the molecule. 
VI. State whether the overall molecule is polar or nonpolar. 
VII. For any two of the following molecules, state the strongest intermolecular force between
multiple of the same molecule.
a. IF2
b. H2CO3
c. CH3CH2COOH
d. N2O4
e. PO4^3-
f. CH3COCN
g. ClO3^-1
h. C4H8
