Find the valence electrons of each molecule, the lewis dot structure, the shape and bond angle, VSPR with polar bonds, and molecular polarity. The answer should be the same as the example below
How do you know when to draw a solid wedge vs a dashed wedge when drawing 3D bond-line structures? I know that solid-wedge means the atom is pointing towards you and dashed wedge means it's in the back, but how do you know which atoms are in the front as opposed to the back? How can you tell what the configuration will look like in space just by looking at the lewis structure or name?
