- Consider the following molecules: SiH4, PH3, H2S. In each case, a central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 109.5? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIt is possible to write a simple Lewis structure for the SO42- ion, involving only single bonds, which follows the octet rule. However, Linus Pauling and others have suggested an alternative structure, involving double bonds, in which the sulfur atom is surrounded by six electron pairs. (a) Draw the two Lewis structures. (b) What geometries are predicted for the two structures? (c) What is the hybridization of sulfur in each case? (d) What are the formal charges of the atoms in the two structures?arrow_forwardFormamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forward
- Best Lewis Formula and Molecular Geometry A student writes the Lewis electron-dot formula for the carbonate anion, CO32, as a Does this Lewis formula obey the octet rule? Explain. What are the formal charges on the atoms? Try describing the bonding for this formula in valence bond terms. Do you have any difficulty doing this? b Does this Lewis formula give a reasonable description of the electron structure, or is there a better one? If there is a better Lewis formula, write it down and explain why it is better. c The same student writes the following resonance description for CO2: Is there something wrong with this description? (What would you predict as the geometries of these formulas?) d Is one or the other formula a better description? Could a value for the dipole moment help you decide? e Can you write a Lewis formula that gives an even better description of CO2? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardFrom their Lewis structures, determine the number of sand π bonds in each of the following molecules or ions:(a) CO2; (b) cyanogen,(CN2); (c) formaldehyde, H2CO;(d) formic acid, HCOOH, which has one H and two O atomsattached to C.arrow_forwardThe phosphorus trihalides (PX3) show the following variationin the bond angle X—P—X: PF3, 96.3°; PCl3, 100.3°;PBr3, 101.0°; PI3, 102.0°. The trend is generally attributedto the change in the electronegativity of the halogen.(a) Assuming that all electron domains are the same size,what value of the X—P—X angle is predicted by the VSEPRmodel? (b) What is the general trend in the X—P—Xangle as the halide electronegativity increases? (c) Usingthe VSEPR model, explain the observed trend in X—P—Xangle as the electronegativity of X changes.

Provide a hand-drawn illustration showing the molecule's 3D structure and dipole moment if applicable.arrow_forwardConsider the following molecular shapes:a) Match each shape with one of the following species: XeF₃,SbBr₃, GaCl₃. (b) Which, if any, is polar? (c) Which has the most valence electrons around the cental atom?arrow_forward
- Molecules can be polar because of the unsymmetrical distribution of electrons. The dipole moment, μ Q r μ=Q×r The SI unit of dipole moment is the coulomb-meter (C⋅m), but another common unit is the debye (D). The two are related as 3.336×10^−30 C⋅m=1 D The percent ionic character is a comparison of the measured dipole moment of the bond to the expected dipole moment if electrons are instead transferred: %ionic character=measured dipole/if electrons transferred×100% The dipole moment if electrons are completely transferred is one for which a full unit of charge (1.60×10^−19 C) exists on each end of the bond. The dipole measured for HI is 0.380 D. The bond distance is 161 pm. What is the percent ionic character of the HI bond? Express your answer as a percent to three significant figures. Describe the molecular dipole of OCl2.arrow_forwardConsider a molecule AB6, where element A has 6 valence electrons and B has 7 valence electrons. If the ΔEn for each bond = 1.2, predict the shape, bond hybridization and polarity (polar or non-polar) of the molecule. Your answer should follow the format: a) number of total electrons for bonding; b) Steric Number and Lone Pairs; c) name of shape based on the VSEPR chart, d) bond hybridization and e) molecular polarity.arrow_forwardI am struggling to understand the bond angles between the atoms of the molecule O=N-Cl.
