Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a chemical formula of substance with valance electrons of atoms. According to VSEPR theory, electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom repel one another and try to minimize this repulsion by increasing their separation distance. This is done by forming bond between central atom and other atoms.

- Use the simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16MolecPolarity) to perform the following exercises for a two-atom molecule: (a) Adjust the electronegativity value so the bond dipole is pointing toward B. Then determine what the electronegativity values must be to switch the dipole so that it points toward A. (b) With a partial positive charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens. (c) With a small partial negative charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens. (d) Reset all, and then with a large partial negative charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens.arrow_forwardGive the total number of valence electrons in each of the following molecules. msp;a.B2O3c.C2H6Ob.CO2d.NO2arrow_forwardHow are ionic bonds and covalent bonds different? Why is F2 a nonpolar molecule, but H2O is a polar molecule? How do you name a positive ion? How do you name a negative ion? How do you name an ionic compound?arrow_forward
- The Lewis dot model of a molecule is shown.Based on the model, which of the following is true?A) The electronegativity difference between phosphorous and chlorine is greater than 1.7.B) Each chlorine has three non-bonded pairs and one bonded pair of electrons.C) Phosphorous has three non-bonded pairs and one bonded pair of electrons.D) Phosphorous has three valence electrons in the outermost energy level.arrow_forwardNow, we will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom. Select 2 fluorine atoms. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom? Is a fluorine atom a metal or a non-metal? Did the combination of these atoms create a covalent or ionic bond? How are the valence electrons organized to form a bond between these atoms? How is this different from the ionic bonds formed in the previous part of the activity?arrow_forwardPlease answer the following 6 questions below 1. Consider the following electronegativity values: Cl = 3.2, Si = 1.9, Ba = 0.9, Al = 1.6 When calculating the types of bonds these atoms can make, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT: a. The bond between Ba and Cl is expected to be ionic b. The bond between Cl and Si is expected to be polar covalent c. The bond between Al and Si is expected to be nonpolar covalent d. The bond between Al and Cl is expected to be ionic 2. Draw the lewis structures for both resonance structures of the OCBr+ ion and select the statement that is true a. The molecule sometimes looks like one resonances structure, and at other times it looks like the other resonance structure b. In one resonance structure, the carbon is in the center, and in the other one, the oxygen is in the center c. The bond between carbon and oxygen would best be described as 2.5 bonds (halfway between a double and a triple bond) d. In one resonance structure the positive…arrow_forward
