Chapter 10, Problem 10.89P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the species is neutral compound whether the black sphere in the given molecular shape can represent selenium or not is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The molecular shape is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in the molecule. It depends on the bond pairs as well as lone pairs.

The molecular geometry table is as follows:

Steric number or Number electron groupsNumber of lone pairsMolecular geometry

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the species is anion whether the black sphere in the given molecular shape can represent nitrogen or not is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When a neutral atom gains electrons, it acquires a negative charge on it due to the presence of excess electrons as compared to the protons. This results in the formation of the anion. When a neutral atom loses electrons, it acquires a positive charge on it due to the presence of excess protons as compared to the electrons. This results in the formation of the cation.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The charge on the species is to be determined if the black sphere represents a bromine atom.

Concept introduction:
