Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The Lewis structure and the molecular geometry of the given compound, the polarity of the given compounds are to be identified and the possibility of the given compound to behave as a greenhouse gas is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The Lewis structure represents all bonding and non-bonding electrons surrounding the atoms involved in a molecule. A molecule exhibits a particular geometry in space considering the steric hindrances of the bond pairs and the lone pairs
The overall polarity of the molecule is determined by calculating the vector sum of the individual bond polarities.
To determine: The Lewis structure and the molecular geometry of the given compound
(b)
To determine: The possibility of having same dipole moment in the given compounds.
(c)
To determine: The possibility of the given compound to behave as a greenhouse gas.
