Question
  1. In Table 1, complete the columns. (Remember that the values pertain to the Central atom only.)
  2. In Table 2, complete the columns. (Remember that the values pertain to the Central atom only.)
  3. In Table 3 complete the columns. . (Remember that the values pertain to the Central atoms only. In this table, you will have more than one central atom so report more than one value, ie. 3 / 3)

Data Results / Analysis:

 

  1. What determines which atoms are the central atoms?

 

 

  1. How do you adjust the number of electrons to form a cation? What about an anion?

 

 

  1. What causes some molecules with the same number of electron domains to have different shapes? Would they cause the real bond angle to be larger or smaller? Why?

 

 

  1. Which of the following elements should you expect to form an incomplete octet: H, He, Be, B, C, O? Why?

 

 

  1. Which of the following elements are good candidates to form an expanded octet: N, F, Ne, P, S, Cl, Ar? Why?
