- How many lone pairs are there on the central C atom in the Lewis structure for CH4 ? How many lone pairs are there on the central C atom in the Lewis structure for CH4 ? 1 3 4 0 2arrow_forward1) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the molecular models (ball and stick) as learning aids. Recommend an alternative to using this method for modeling molecules. 2) Build C6H6 as a ring. What do you notice about the placement of the bonds? This is an example of resonance. What is a resonant Lewis structure? 3) Explain how a diminished and expanded octet can be formed.arrow_forwardI2(g) + Br2(g) ---> 2IBr(g) Draw Lewis structures for all reactant and product molecules.arrow_forward

- Consider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, TF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds are all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structures. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule does not.) See Exercises 25 and 26 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, IF5, and SCl6.
