Lab 7: How Does Molecular Shape Affect Polarity?
REPORT FORM
Answer the following discussion questions. Support your claim using evidence, i.e., experimental data and/or observations that support the claim. Cite specific observations and/or
results. Connect your evidence (data and/or observations) to your claim using reasoning that explains why your evidence supports your claim. Reasoning should be based on a scientific rule,
law, principle or definition.
Part 1B. Electron Groups and Molecular Geometries
Question #1.
VSEPR stands for “valence-shell electron-pair repulsion”. How does electron pair repulsion determine the molecular shape/molecule geometry? Use two specific examples (molecular shapes) from Data Table 2 (in the data form) to explain your answer. (Hint: In the simulation, is it possible to force the electron domains to be close together?)
Electron pair repulsion determines the molecular shape or also known as the molecule geometry by the repulsions of bonding and nonbonding electrons. Electron pairs tend to repel one another, and they arrange themselves to minimize the repulsion. The nonbonding electrons has a stronger repulsion than bonding electrons.
Figure 1: Figure 2: Both electron’s groups are Trigonal Planar but they don’t have the same molecular geometry. The molecular geometry of Figure 2 is a Trigonal Planar, but the molecular geometry of Figure 1 is bent. We can clearly see by looking at both pictures that the lone pairs take up more space than the bonding pairs.
Question #2.
Identify the molecular geometry and electron group rearrangement for each shape and record the number of lone pairs on each central atom. Explain your answer using the total number of electron groups around the central atom in a particular molecular geometry.
Part 1C. Bond Angles
Question #3.
Which one of these assumptions about the space occupied by nonbonding (lone
pair) electron pairs is most consistent with the experimental bond angles that you observed in the simulation? Do nonbonding pairs occupy more
, less
, or the same
amount of space as bonding pairs? Explain using the structures of two examples from Data Table 3 (in the data form). (i):
Since the molecule has six electron groups it is a octahedral. Out of its six electron groups four are bonded electrons and two are lone pairs the molecular geometry is a square planar.

(ii):
Since the molecule has four electron groups it is a tetrahedral. All are bonded electrons, so the molecular geometry is also a tetrahedral.

(iii):
Since the molecule has five electron groups it is a trigonal bipyramidal. Out of its five electron groups four are bonded electrons and one is a nonbonding electron the molecular geometry is a sessaw.

Nonbonding pairs occupy more space than bonding pairs due to lone pairs repel each other thus taking more space.
Part 2A. Investigating Bond Polarity with the molecule AB
Question #4.
What is the relationship between the orientation
of the dipole arrow and the partial charge on atoms A and B? Explain using words and/or diagrams/structures, or examples.
Question #5.
What is the relationship between magnitude
of the dipole arrow and the difference in electronegativity between atoms A and B? Explain using words and/or diagrams/structures, or examples. Question #6.
How does changing the electronegativity of the atoms affect the bond polarity
? Explain using words and/or diagrams/structures, or examples.
The orientation of the dipole arrow points towards the atoms with a partial negative charge. For example, in the picture below the arrow points towards atom B because it has a
partial negative charge. The magnitude of the dipole arrow is directionally proportional to the difference in electronegativity between atoms A and B. What this means is that as the electronegativity difference gets larger so does the arrow and when the difference in electronegativity decreases so does the dipole arrow.
Changing the electronegativity of the atoms would affect the bond polarity because a larger
difference in electronegativity between two atoms would cause a more polar bond. If the difference decreases, then the bond would become less polar or eventually nonpolar.

Question #7.
How does changing the electronegativity of the atoms affect the bond character
(more ionic or more covalent)? Explain using words and/or diagrams/structures, or examples.
Part 2B. Molecules in Electric Fields
Question #8.
What happens to the molecule AB when it has a bond dipole and the electric field is turned on? What happens to the molecule if the bond dipole is zero? Is there a relationship between the bond dipole and how the molecule is affected by the electric field? If there is a relationship, explain it using your observations from the simulation.
Changing the electronegativity of the atoms in a bond affects the bond character. If the electronegativity between atoms A and B decreased, then the bond is more covalent but if the electronegativity increases it becomes ionic.
When the molecule AB has a bond dipole, and the electric field is turned the molecule will experience a torque which will cause the dipole moment to align itself with the electric field. If the bond dipole is zero, then the molecule will not have any torque when the electronic field is applied. Evidentially there is a direct relationship between the bond dipole and the molecule is affected by the electric field. The greater the bond dipole the greater the torque and vice versa.
Part 2D. Putting it all together…
Question #9.
What is the difference between Molecular Shape/Molecule Geometry and Electron Group Arrangement/Electron Geometry? In other words, what information does each classification provide you about the structure of the molecule? Use examples if that helps with your explanation.
Question #10.
List at least five characteristics of a molecule that can be determined from a Lewis Structure. You may wish to use an example Lewis Structure and list what information you
can observe and deduce about the molecule from the Lewis Structure.
Molecular shape or molecular geometry describes the shape of a molecule and is determined by the repulsion between atoms and the orientation of the bonds around the central atom. Electron geometry or electron group arrangement is determined by the total number of electrons pairs and includes both bonding and non-bonding pairs. Electron geometry depicts the arrangement of electron pairs and molecular geometry depicts the shape of a molecule. 1.

In a post-lab question, a student was asked to explain heat curves. This is what they wrote:
"A heating curve shows how the temperature of a molecule changes as it is heated. First, it starts as a solid below its melting point. Then, as heat is put in, the bonds start to break at the phase change, and the molecule becomes a liquid. The temperature of the molecule cools slightly at this point. Then, the temperature rises again because the heat going in makes the molecules have greater potential energy (motion). At its boiling point, more bonds break and it turns into a gas. The phase changes are the flat regions of the heating curves because all the heat going in is used to break the bonds."
While they have a lot right, there are a number of mistakes. Highlight or copy-and-paste 2 errors, and explain what is wrong/how to fix the errors.
