(a)
Interpretation:
To predict bond angles about each highlighted carbon.
Concept Introduction:
VSEPR predicts the geometry and the bond angles for the molecules according to the theory, the structure is predicted by the lone pairs and bond pairs present in the bond formation.
Electron pair = Lone pair + Bond pair.
Electron pair | Hybridization | Geometry | Bond angles |
2 | sp | Linear | 180° |
3 | sp2 | Trigonal planar | 120° |
4 | sp3 | Tetrahedra or square planar | 109.5° or 90° |
5 | sp3 d | Trigonal bipyramidal | 120° and 90° |

- Nonearrow_forwardUnshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. CH. H₂ fo H2 H The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is HC HC HC CH The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c isarrow_forwardDraw curved arrows for the following reaction step.
