Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The geometry of each central atom in the given structure needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Hybridization is defined as mixing of orbital. The geometry of a central atom depends on its hybridization. The shape will be different from geometry if there are lone pair of electrons present on the central atom.
(b)
Interpretation:The bond angles associated with each central atom needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The bond angles of central atom can be determined from its hybridization and geometry.
(c)
Interpretation:The most polar bond in given structure needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: A bond is said to be polar if there is electronegativity difference between the atoms.
(d)
Interpretation:The given moleculeneeds to be classified as a polar or non-polar molecule.
Concept Introduction: If there are polar bonds present in a molecule then it is considered as a polar molecule.
(e)
Interpretation:Whether given molecule possess resonance or not needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Resonance is possessed by a molecule if there is possibility of delocalization of electrons. This can be positive if there is intercation between alternate lone pairs and pi bonds present in a molecule.
