Identify the molecular shape of each lewis structure.

Panel One

Trigonal Planar: This is in the shape of a triangle. It is an equilateral triangle with three equal atoms/ions at each corner of the triangle. The most well known example is a molecule with Boron at the center and the corner molecules some like Florine or iodine.

Trigonal Planar is the second Lewis Diagram from the right.

The uploaded picture is the second from the left.  

==========

Tetrahedral (Second Lewis Diagram from the left) is something like a pyramid except that that the base is triangular as are each of the faces. The carbon is in the center and the chlorines (in this example) are each in a corner. If this made of just carbon (like diamond or anthracite coal) then you are talking about something that is extremely hard. It's the first upload on the left.

=====================

The Trigonal pyramid is the first Lewis Diagram on the left. It usually has an unattached pair of electrons. Nitrogen or Phosphorous are ususally the samples in the center. The nitrogen with its unused paired electrons are at the peak of  blue sphere in the diagram that is uploaded second from the right.

======================

The Bent one is first lewis diagram on the right. It bends because of the unbalance (and double bonds) away from the nitrogen. Water looks something like that. Water is an example of Bent.

The upload is first on the right. These diagrams help you visulize what the various molecules look like

Problem Two

The very quick answer is E. Water is a bent molecule. It is flat. It has a very definite (+) end and a very definite (-) end. The marriage of a plus end with a minus is a very long lasting relationship. It is not the strongest bond in the world, but it is strong enough to create all the properties  that the stem of the question has listed. [High melting and boiling points and high surface tension.

A is a repulsive condition. Likes repulse. Wrong answer.

B is wrong. We are talking about water itself, not water with something in it.

C is Wrong. Water molecules are distinct. They are a bit on the hermit side. They do not connect directly with each other.

D Wrong. There is no interchange of electrons between molecules.

1. VSEPR Theory

(a) NI₃

3 Bonding pairs + 1 lone pair = 4 electron groups

4 electron groups ≡ tetrahedral electron geometry

For molecular geometry, we ignore the lone pair, so the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 1).

(b) CCl₄

4 bonding pairs = 4 electron groups

4 electron groups ≡ tetrahedral electron geometry

There are no lone pairs, so electron geometry = molecular geometry = tetrahedral (see Figure 2).

(c) BF₃

3 bonding pairs = 3 electron groups

3 electron groups = trigonal planar electron geometry

There are no lone pairs, so electron geometry = molecular geometry = trigonal planar (see Figure 3).

(d) NO₂ ⁻

1 single bond + 1 double bond + 1 lone pair = 3 electron groups

3 electron groups = trigonal planar electron geometry

For molecular geometry, we ignore the lone pair, so the molecular shape is bent (see Figure 4) .

2. Structure and physical properties

E. The negative side of each water molecule is attracted to the positive side of nearby molecules.

Explanation:

The O-H bonds in water are highly polar, so the H atoms have a partial positive charge, and the O atoms have a partial negative charge.

The partially negative O atom in one molecule is strongly attracted to the partially positive H atom in another molecule, and vice versa.

We call these strong attractive forces hydrogen bonds.

A. Wrong. The partially positive hydrogen atoms repel each other.

B. Wrong. The polarity is a property of the bond. It is not affected by dissolved ions.

C. Wrong. The water molecules are NOT connected to each other by covalent bonds.

D. Wrong. The water molecules haven’t lost or gained electrons.

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
