Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 30E

Draw a Lewis structure and use VSEPR theory to determine the geometry of each molecule. If the molecule has more than one central atom, indicate the geometry about each of these and draw the three-dimensional structure.

HCCH (two carbon atoms in the middle, each with one hydrogen atom attached)

CCl 4

PH 3

HOOH (two oxygen atoms in the middle, each with one hydrogen atom attached)

Which of the following are true of VSEPR theory?  Choose all that apply. VSEPR stand for valence structure electron pairing resistance VSEPR predicts the shape of molecules based on the fact that electrons repel each other VSEPR is the most advanced and best method for predicting the shape of molecules VSEPR theory does not explain the observed angles in the bonding of certain molecules
Determine whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar: CF4, CH4, NH3. EN values: C: 2.6; H: 2.2; F: 4.0; N: 3.0.Start with Lewis structure then draw the shape of the molecule →determine the polarity of the bond(s) →provide the orientation of the dipoles to determine polarity of the molecule    the only one need is EN
1. For each molecule and ion below, indicate the total number of valence electrons. Based on that number of electrons, draw a valid Lewis structure.2. Use VSEPR theory to determine the electron arrangement and the geometry of the molecule around the central atom(s). A table of geometries is attached.3. Build the molecule using the molecular models provided in the lab. Sketch your model well enough to show the geometry. Include bond angles.4. Using your understanding of electronegativity and its trends in the Periodic Table, determine if polar bonds exist in the molecule.5. Using bond polarity and molecular shape, determine if the molecule has an overall dipole. If all the bonds are nonpolar, the molecule is nonpolar. If polar bonds are present, then consider the shape to determine if the molecule has an overall dipole.
