(a)
The shape of the molecule
N 2 O
and its polar or nonpolar nature.
(a)
Answer to Problem 32E
The molecule
Explanation of Solution
Given Info: Refer to Table 12.6 in the textbook to predict the shape of the molecule.
Explanation:
The shape of the molecule
The central atom has two surrounding regions.
The polarity of a molecule depends on the electronegativity of atoms in that molecule and the shape of the molecule. A molecule which has one polar bond is polar.
A molecule which has all nonpolar bonds is nonpolar.
The symmetric molecule will be nonpolar because the polarity of bonds is canceled out. Thus an asymmetric molecule is polar because the polarity of bonds is not canceled.
Therefore, the asymmetric molecule
Conclusion:
Therefore, the shape of the molecule
The molecule
(b)
The shape of the molecule
SO 4 2 −
and its polar or nonpolar nature.
(b)
Answer to Problem 32E
