Chapter 7, Problem 7.132QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structures of ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{F}}_{\text{2}}$ should be drawn. Also the polar compounds among the three possible Lewis structure of ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{F}}_{\text{2}}$ should be identified

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the chemical bonding of covalentlybonded molecules and coordination compounds. It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electronsthat may exist in the molecule.
• While formation of a bond, there is a chance that electronegativity between the atoms are high. It tends to make the bond partially ionic and are called polar molecule. When the electronegativity between two atoms is similar, sharing of electron in the bond is equal and is called nonpolar molecules.
