Based on your model, draw a bond-line representation with as many atoms as possible in the plane of the paper. Use wedge and dash bonds to represent any atoms that do not lie in the plane of the paper. b.

- Is the Cl2BBCl2 molecule polar or nonpolar?arrow_forwardIn a covalent bond between two atoms, the more electronegative atom will attract more electron density toward itself, causing a polar bond. The more electronegative element is the negative pole, whereas the less electronegative element is the positive pole. The direction of the dipole is always toward the more electronegative element. This is often inflicated by an arrow, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The magnitude of the bond polarity is the difference in electronegativity values of the atoms. For example, in the molecule Cl2, the CICI bond is nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity between two atoms of the same element. In the CIBr molecule, However, the C1 Br bond is polar because Cl and Br have different electroneaativitv values. A CI I bond would be more polar than a C1 Br bond because there is a greater electronegativity difference between Cland I than between CI and Br.arrow_forwardWhich statement about VSEPR theory is not correct? Select one: a. The molecular shape or geometry is determined by the positions of the lone pairs in the molecule. b. The steric number has five values from 2 to 6. c. The steric number of a central atom is the sum of the number of bonds around the atom plus the number of electrons in lone pairs pairs d. The electron-pair geometry is determined by the positions of the bonds and lone pairs in a molecule. e. In VSEPR theory, the shape or geometry of a molecule is determined by electron-electron repulsion.arrow_forward
