Chapter 3, Problem 113CP
A compound is being tested for use as a rocket propellant. Analysis shows that it contains 18.54% F, 34.61% Cl, and 46.85% O.
(a) Determine the empirical formula for this compound.
(b) Assuming that the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, draw a Lewis diagram for this molecule. Review examples elsewhere in this chapter to decide which atom is most likely to lie at the center.
(c) Use the VSEPR theory to predict the structure of the molecule from part (b).
