(a)
Interpretation:
A hypothetical
Concept Introduction:
Measure of the degree of inequality in attraction of the bonding electrons to the various locations present within a molecule is known as molecular polarity. This can also be said in terms of electron attraction and that is in a molecule one part is favored than the other parts of the molecule.
If in a molecule there is an uneven distribution of electronic charges means it is known as polar molecule. If there is a symmetrical distribution of electron charge over the molecule means it is known as nonpolar molecule. Two factors that decide molecular polarity is bond polarity and geometry of molecule. If a molecule is symmetrical means then there won’t be any molecular polarity because the effect given by the polar bonds may cancel out each other.

- Determining Molecular Polarity Determine whether each molecule is polar: a.HBrb.IClc.I2d.COarrow_forwarduse differences in electronegativity to account for certain properties of bonds. What if all atoms had the same electronegativity values? How would bonding between atoms be affected? What are some differences we would notice?arrow_forwarda model of each of the following molecules: a. 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. Indicate each unique bond angle and the shape of each unique central atom.arrow_forward
- 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
- Electronegativity is defined as the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. We use differences in electronegativity to account for certain properties of bonds. In your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: What if all atoms had the same electronegativity values? How do you think bonding between atoms would be affected? What are some differences we would notice?arrow_forwardA and X are different elements with different electronegativities. What best describes the polarity of the bonds and molecule in a linear A-X-A?arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis Dot structure for SBr2 (on paper) then answer the questions. How many single bonds are in SBr2? Express as a whole number. How many double bonds are in SBr2 ? Express as a whole number. How many triple bonds are in SBr2? Express as a whole number. How many lone pairs on central atom? Express as a whole number. Is SBr2 linear or bent? Write out wordarrow_forward
- 1. The electron pair in a H - Cl bond could be considered... a. closer to H because Hydrogen has a larger radius and thus exerts greater control over the shared electron pair b. closer to Cl because Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than Hydrogen c. closer to H because Hydrogen has a lower electronegativity than Chlorine d. an inadequate model since the bond is ionic 2. It is important to know the geometry of a molecule because the geometry _______. a. will give the Lewis structure of the molecule b. affects the physical and chemical properties of the substance c. will determine whether the molecule is ionic or covalent d.

How does adding a lone pair affect the position and angles of existing atoms and lone pairs? Is the effect of adding bonded atoms and lone pairs to the central similar? Explain your answer. Describe what is meant by the "Steric #". Explain the difference between the terms "Electron Geometry" and "Molecule Geometry". How does changing a bond to a double or triple bond affect the shape of the molecules? List the molecules in Part III where the real bond angles differ from the theoretical model values.
