(a)
Interpretation:
The geometric arrangement for the atoms that have 3 charge clouds should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure
(b)
Interpretation:
The geometric arrangement for the atoms that have 5 charge clouds should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.
(c)
Interpretation:
The geometric arrangement for the atoms that have 2 charge clouds should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.
(d)
Interpretation:
The geometric arrangement for the atoms that have 6 charge clouds should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.

- Arrange the following material according to the increasing tendency to lose an electron. (I.) glass, (II.) copper, (III.) fur, (IV.) Silkarrow_forward(i) What is the covalency of N in N2O5 ?(ii) Explain why phosphorus forms pentachloride whereas nitrogen andbismuth do not?arrow_forwardIf an element is bonded to 4 other atoms and has a formal charge of +1, what group must the element be in? I know that group 3A atoms are elctron deficient, and that period 3 elements and below, except for group 3A elements like Aluminum, can expand their octet because of their available d-orbital, which may not be relevant to this problem. I don't understand this question, or why the answer would be 5A. Is it because 5A have odd valence electrons, and can form free radicals, like NO?arrow_forward
