(a)
Interpretation:
TInterpretation: The shape of the indicated N and O atom in the molecule needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The geometry around any atom depends on the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons around it. There are approximate bond angles between atoms, defined for a particular geometry as follows:
Molecular geometry around interested atom | Bond angle (') |
Linear | 180 |
Trigonal planer | 120 |
Tetrahedral | 109.5 |
Trigonal pyramidal | 109.5 |
Bent | 109.5 |
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape of the indicated 2 C atoms in the molecule needs to be determined.

- Complete the molecules by (only) filling-in the lone pairs that are missing to make octets. Then, calculate all nonzero formal charges.arrow_forwardHow 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?arrow_forwarddiagram of a molecule that shows atoms based on their a periodic table symbols. These symbols are surrounded by pairs of dots to show valence electrons that could be lone pairs or bonding pairs?arrow_forward
- How do you find the total number of valence electrons for OF2? What is the central atom? How many atoms are single bonded to the central atom? How many atoms are double or triple bonded to the central atom? How many lone pairs are on the central atom?arrow_forwardDrawing Lewis Structures For each molecule, calculate the total number of valence electrons. Then, using formal charge considerations as needed, draw the best Lewis structure for each moleculearrow_forwardA. Draw the complete Lewis structure showing all bonds as lines, all lone pairs, and all atoms as letters. B. Based on the drawn structure how many sigma and pi bonds are there?arrow_forward
- Draw an equivalent resonance structure that minimizes charges. Include all lone pairs in your structure.arrow_forwardProvide a reasonable Lewis structure below each molecular formula. Please note that you must indicate the proper number of lone pairs AlCl3 H3CCH(OH)CH2CO2H H3CCNOarrow_forwardDraw an equivalent resonance structure that minimizes charge.
