Chapter 1.7, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The geometry around all second-row atoms in CH3COCH3 is to be predicted with the help of its given Lewis structure.

Concept introduction: The geometry and hybridisation of an atom is determined by the number of groups around it. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 2, then the geometry will be linear. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 3, then the geometry will be trigonal planar. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 4, then the geometry will be tetrahedral.

(c)

Interpretation: The geometry around all second-row atoms in NH2 is to be predicted with the help of its given Lewis structure.

Concept introduction: The geometry and hybridisation of an atom is determined by the number of group around it. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 2, then the geometry will be linear. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 3, then the geometry will be trigonal planar. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 4, then the geometry will be tetrahedral.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation: The geometry around all second-row atoms in CH3CN is to be predicted with the help of its given Lewis structure.

Concept introduction: The geometry and hybridisation of an atom is determined by the number of group around it. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 2, then the geometry will be linear. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 3, then the geometry will be trigonal planar. If the number of groups attached to an atom is 4, then the geometry will be tetrahedral.
