Draw the attraction between a water molecule and a molecule of BrCl4F. Br is the central atom in an expanded octet - count your electrons carefully.
First, draw one molecule and add the partial charges where needed - use the ΔEN to determine the types of bonds. Then, draw the second molecule so that the δ+ on one molecule lines up across from the δ- on the other. Since we can't draw the molecules here you will answer questions about the drawings that you made on the homework worksheet.
BrCl4F has one __________ bond between the Br and F with ΔEN = ____________ , and four ________ bonds between the Br and Cl with a ΔEN = _________ .
The central Br has 6 REDs and the molecule is symmetrical/asymmetrical (answer is ___________ ) making it a polar/nonpolar (answer is __________ ) molecule.
The central Br has a ___________ charge and the F has a ________ charge.
H2O has 2 ____________ bonds with a ΔEN = ___________ .
H2O has 4 REDs and is symmetrical/asymmetrical (answer is ___________ ) making it a polar/nonpolar (answer is _______________ ) molecule.
Each H has a __________ charge and the O has a _________ charge.
The strongest possible attractive force between these two molecules is _________ .
