Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The electron-region geometry for electron pairs from two to six around a central atom has to be designated.
Concept Introduction:
Electron geometry is the shape of a molecule predicted by considering both bond electron pairs and lone pair of electrons.
Molecular geometry is the shape of a molecule predicted by considering only bond pair of electrons
Geometry of different type of molecules with respect to the number of electron pairs are mentioned below,

- According to the VSEPR model, what are the arrangements of two, three, four, five, and six valence-shell electron pairs about an atom?arrow_forwardWhat aspect of the following Lewis structure indicates that the concept of coordinate covalency is needed to explain the bonding in the molecule?arrow_forwardIn boron trifluoride the 3-D shape around the central atom is:arrow_forward
- Use valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR – pronounced ‘vesper’) to predict the electron domain geometry around central atoms of simple moleculesarrow_forwardA molecule is made of one hydrogen atom bonded to one fluorine atom. What information is necessary to determine whether this is a polar molecule?arrow_forward(b) Determine the molecular geometry for each of the following compound. (i) ASF3 (ii) H2O2arrow_forward
- why are some gases polar molecules? For example, SO2 is a polar molecule and a gas. CHCl3 is a polar molecule but a liquid. How come these two examples are both polar molecules but are in different states of matter?arrow_forwardDispersion forces are produced when an electronegative atom pulls on the electron of a hydrogen atom so much that the proton of the hydrogen can closely interact with the electronegative atom of another molecule electronegative atoms pull electrons toward one area of the molecule, creating regions of partial positive and partial negative charge that are attracted to regions of other molecules with the opposite charge electrons are transferred from one atom to another to produce anions and cations that are then held together in a rigid lattice electrons in molecular compounds are constantly moving and produce short-term regions of positive and negative charge that are attracted to regions of other molecules with the opposite chargearrow_forwardPlease envision this table like it was one long table. (I had to make it two because it hung out of the quiz boundaries and was inaccessible.) It is recommended that you draw the Lewis Structure of the molecules and then complete this table. electronic Molecular Molecule Geometry Geometry CH3F tetrahedral tetrahedral NH3 tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal C2F4 trigonal planar trigonal planar CO2 linear linear main dipole Molecule intermolecular moment force CH3F [ Select ] yes NH3 hydrogen bonding yes C2F4 [ Select ) no CO2 ( Select | no > >arrow_forward
- What is the molecular geometry if you have 4 single bonds around the carbon central atom?arrow_forwardWhich of the following would you expect to be a polar molecule? O CH4 O CO2 O CCL, O CHCI, O N2arrow_forwardWhat is the approximate bond angle for molecules that have a tetrahedral electron group geometry (tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and bent molecular geometries)?arrow_forward
