Predict and explain bond types in HCl, CsCl, NH3, CS2 and GeBr4.
Electrons in bonds are negatively charged and therefore repel each other. If you had a molecule of formula AB 2 , with A being the central atom, what would you predict the 3D shape to be to allow maximum distance between the two B atoms bonded to A?
Calculate; The energy required to excite an electron from level n = 1 to level n = 4.
By use of NH3, explain why electronic geometry is NOT the same as molecular geometry.
