Question

Part A The simulation shows the electron and molecular geometries for a variety of compounds. For example, click the Real Molecules mode and select BrFs as the molecule. Check the boxes marked Show Lone Pairs (under Options to the right) as well as Molecule Geometry and Electron Geometry (under Name in the bottom left), and the respective geometries should display, which are Square Pyramidal and Octahedral, respectively. The structure of bromine pentafluoride consists of one lone pair and five single bonds. You can recreate this molecule in the Model mode by adding a single lone pair and five single bonds to the central atom (click the Remove All button to start over). You will have successfully recreated the molecule if the displayed molecular and electron geometries are square pyramidal and octahedral, respectively. Use the Model mode in the simulation to identity the geometries for ozone, phosphate ion, and argon fluorohydride (for which the Lewis structures are depicted, and the resonance forms can be ignored). Part B Consider the following pairs of molecules that have the same electron geometries. Based on your observations between the Model and Real bond angles in the PhET simulation, complete the sentences to accurately compare the bond angles in each molecule. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer.
