Chapter 6, Problem 107E

Which statement best captures the fundamental idea behind VSEPR theory? Explain what is wrong with the statements you do not choose.

  1. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds and other (lone pair) electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Each of these electron groups (bonding electrons or lone pair electrons) lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule.
  2. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds. Each of these bonding electrons lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule.
  3. The geometry of a molecule is determined by the shapes of the overlapping orbitals that form the chemical bonds. Therefore, to determine the geometry of a molecule, you must determine the shapes of the orbitals involved in bonding.

You have now performed a liquid-liquid extraction protocol in Experiment 4. In doing so, you manipulated and exploited the acid-base chemistry of one or more of the compounds in your mixture to facilitate their separation into different phases. The key to understanding how liquid- liquid extractions work is by knowing which layer a compound is in, and in what protonation state. The following liquid-liquid extraction is different from the one you performed in Experiment 4, but it uses the same type of logic. Your task is to show how to separate apart Compound A and Compound B. . Complete the following flowchart of a liquid-liquid extraction. Handwritten work is encouraged. • Draw by hand (neatly) only the appropriate organic compound(s) in the boxes. . Specify the reagent(s)/chemicals (name is fine) and concentration as required in Boxes 4 and 5. • Box 7a requires the solvent (name is fine). • Box 7b requires one inorganic compound. • You can neatly complete this assignment by hand and…
