a Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an extremely poisonous gas used in organofluorine synthesis. Give the valence bond description of the carbonyl fluoride molecule. (Both fluorine atoms are attached to the carbon atom.) b Nitrogen, N2, makes up about 80% of the earth’s atmosphere. Give the valence bond description of this molecule.

10.) The structural formula of a certain aldehyde (related to formaldehyde) is H3C-CH2-CHO. Draw a Lewis structure for this aldehyde and determine the number of bonds present. Note that a single or a double or a triple bond counts as one bond.
Write the number, not the word.
3. Carbon atoms will bond with each other to form a chain, often with the peripheral atoms being hydrogen. These compounds, hydrocarbons, are organic compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen. However, when hydrogen atoms are substituted with other elements, such as fluorine, this changes the properties of the molecule. Methylfluoride (CH3F), a substituted hydrocarbon, is used in semiconductor processing. Figure 1 depicts an incorrect Lewis structure for CH3F.
(QUestion shown in photo)
Which reason best explains why this structure is incorrect?
a) Hydrogen lacks an octet.
b) Too few electrons are used.
c) Carbon cannot exceed an octet.
d) Fluorine atom has too many electrons.
