Question

Which molecule has the lowest boiling point?

**Use these molecules to answer questions 14-17.** **Molecule A:** - Structure: Tetrahedral - Central atom: Silicon (Si) - Surrounding atoms: Four Fluorine (F) atoms, each with three pairs of lone electrons - Notation: - F atoms are single-bonded to the Si atom. **Molecule B:** - Structure: Linear - Atoms: Two Carbon (C) atoms and one Oxygen (O) atom - Hydrogen (H) atoms: Attached to each C atom (total of six H atoms) - Lone pairs: Oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons **Molecule C:** - Structure: Linear - Atoms: Three Carbon (C) atoms with alternating single and double bonds to two Oxygen (O) atoms - Hydrogen (H) atoms: Attached to the terminal C atoms, total of six H atoms - Oxygen atoms: - First Oxygen has two lone pairs and is double-bonded to a C atom - Second Oxygen has two lone pairs and is double-bonded to a C atom on the other side These diagrams illustrate molecular structures that can be analyzed for chemical bonding, geometry, and electron configuration.
