(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular shape of
Concept introduction:
The following steps are used to determine the molecular shape and electron-group arrangement of the given molecule.
Step 1: Write the Lewis structure of the given formula.
Step 2: Count all electron groups including bonding and non-bonding pairs around the central atom and use it to assign one of the five electron-group arrangement.
Step 3: Write the ideal bond angle related to the electron-group arrangement and the ideal angles can be predicted by using VSEPR.
Step 4: Count the bonding and non-bonding electron groups and draw the molecular shape accordingly.
(b)
Interpretation:
The molecular shape of
Concept introduction:
The following steps are used to determine the molecular shape and electron-group arrangement of the given molecule.
Step 1: Write the Lewis structure of the given formula and place the atoms.
Step 2: Count all electron groups including bonding and non-bonding pairs around the central atom and use it to assign one of the five electron-group arrangement.
Step 3: Write the ideal bond angle related to the electron-group arrangement and the ideal angles can be predicted by using VSEPR.
Step 4: Count the bonding and non-bonding electron groups and draw the molecular shape accordingly.
(c)
Interpretation:
The molecular shape of
Concept introduction:
The following steps are used to determine the molecular shape and electron-group arrangement of the given molecule.
Step 1: Write the Lewis structure of the given formula and place the atoms.
Step 2: Count all electron groups including bonding and non-bonding pairs around the central atom and use it to assign one of the five electron-group arrangement.
Step 3: Write the ideal bond angle related to the electron-group arrangement and the effect of any deviation can be predicted by using VSEPR.
Step 4: Count the bonding and non-bonding electron groups and draw the molecular shape accordingly.
