- what are the bond angles of AsF4Br relative to AsF5? and why? how do the molecule structures differ?arrow_forwardhow would I identify which of these Lewis structures (A, B, C or D) is correct for PO33- and what is the VSEPR shape of the compound?arrow_forwardDetermine the number of valence electrons in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and then draw the corresponding Lewis structure (with minimized formal charges).arrow_forward
- If a C-O bond length is 1.66 pm and a C=O bond length is 1.52 pm, how long would the carbon oxygen bonds in the carbonate ion be?arrow_forwardThe cations O2+ and N2+ are formed when molecules of O2 and N2 are subjected to intense, high-energy solar radiation in Earths upper atmosphere. Write the electron configuration for O2+. Predict its bond order and magnetic behavior.arrow_forwardThe percent ionic character of the bonds in several interhalogen Molecules (as estimated from their measured dipole moments and bond lengths) are ClF (11%), BrF(15%), BrCl (5.6%), ICl(5.8%), and IBr (10%). Estimate the percent ionic characters for each of these molecules, using the equation in Problem 37, and compare them with the given values.arrow_forward
- Explain why CF4 and Xef4 are nonpolar compounds (have no net dipole moments) while SF4 is polar (has a net dipo le moment). Is CO2 polar? What about COS?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_forwardIt is possible to write a simple Lewis structure for the SO42- ion, involving only single bonds, which follows the octet rule. However, Linus Pauling and others have suggested an alternative structure, involving double bonds, in which the sulfur atom is surrounded by six electron pairs. (a) Draw the two Lewis structures. (b) What geometries are predicted for the two structures? (c) What is the hybridization of sulfur in each case? (d) What are the formal charges of the atoms in the two structures?arrow_forward
- Formamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forwardFollowing are the structures of three isomers of difluorobenzene, C6H4F2. Are any of them nonpolar?arrow_forward
