Interpretation:
The tetrahedral geometry of a molecule of chloroform with molecular formula CHCl3 is to be drawn using solid, wedged and dotted lines.
Concept introduction:
To draw the structure of a tetrahedral carbon attached to four atoms or groups using solid, wedged and dotted lines certain conventions are used. The solid line is used to represent the bonds present in the plane of the paper, heavy wedged line is used to represent a bond coming out of the plane of the paper and the dotted line is used to represent a bond going back behind the plane of the paper.
To determine:
The tetrahedral geometry of a molecule of chloroform with molecular formula CHCl3 using solid, wedged and dotted lines.

- Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the phosgene (COCI₂) molecule. How many electron groups are around the central carbon atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central carbon atom?

In each case, decide whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. Then select the appropriate button under the sketch. if there is a net force pushing the green-ring object in the first sketch to the left, select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. And so on.arrow_forwardFill in boxesarrow_forward
