Concept Introduction:
The Lewis structure shows the connectivity between atoms by identifying the lone pairs of electrons in a compound. Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures. The valence electrons around an atom are shown by dots. Bonds between atoms are shown by lines and the lone pair of electrons is shown by a pair of dots.

- Consider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, IF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds arc all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structure. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule docs not.) See Exercises 115 and 116 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forwardFor a molecule of XeCl3H a) Draw the Lewis structure then predict the shape of the compound and draw the shape of the compound b) Determine if the molecule is polar or nonpolar and explain how you made that determination. If there is a dipole moment, draw it.arrow_forwardThe formula SbCl5^2- what is the 3D Lewis structure with bond angles and all dipole moments? what is the least electronegative element? What is the number of electron regions surrounding the central atom ? is it octet exceeded? what is the genereral formula? Is it polar or non polar molecule? what is the molecular geometry? what is the electron pair geometry?arrow_forward
- Experimental evidence indicates the existence of HC3N molecules in interstellar clouds. Write a plausible Lewis structure for this molecule.arrow_forwardPredict die molecular structure and bond angles for each molecule or ion in Exercises 88 and 94. a. POCl3, SO42, XeO4, PO43, ClO4 b. NF3, SO32, PO33, ClO3 c.ClO2, SCl2, PCl2 d. Considering your answers to parts a, b, and c. what conclusions can you draw concerning the structures of species containing the same number of atoms and the same number of valence electrons? (O3), sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forward
