- In each of the following molecules, a central atom is surrounded by a total of three atoms or unshared electron pairs: SnCl2, BCl3, SO2. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 120? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardGive the hybridization of each central atom in the following molecules. (a) cyclohexene (b) phosgene, Cl2CO (c) glycine, H2NC(1)H2C(2)OOH (Note: Numbers in parentheses label each carbon atom.)arrow_forwardUsing cartoon representations, draw a molecular orbital mixing diagram for a CO bond. In your picture, consider the relative energies of C and O and how this changes the resulting bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals relative to a CC bond.arrow_forward
- Consider the following molecules: SiH4, PH3, H2S. In each case, a central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 109.5? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardDichlorobenzene, C6H4Cl2, exists in three forms (isomers)called ortho, meta, and para: Which of these has a nonzero dipole moment? Explain.arrow_forwardPut the following species in order of increasing bond length by using molecular orbital diagrams and calculating their bond orders: F2-, F2, F2+arrow_forward
- Rank the following molecules by order of increasing bond energy: F2, F2^+, F2^2+. Justify your answer in detail.arrow_forwardFor molecules of general formula AXₙ(where n>2), how do you determine if a molecule is polar?arrow_forwardLabel and sketch the shape of hybrid orbitals of the central atom of PCI5arrow_forward
- A molecule of formula AY3 is found experimentally to be polar. Which molecular shapes are possible and which are impossible for AY3?arrow_forwardIf N, C, O all employ sp3 hybrid orbitals in NH3,CH4, and H2O what reasons can you advance for NH3 and H2O being polar while CH4 being non polar?arrow_forwardBenzene is one of the compounds used as an octane enhancer in unleaded gasoline. It is manufactured by the catalytic conversion of acetylene to benzene:3C2 H2 ⟶ C6 H6Draw Lewis structures for these compounds, with resonance structures as appropriate, and determine the hybridization of the carbon atoms in each.arrow_forward
