How many unshared pairs of electrons are in CO?
2
Why is the molecular geometry of water bent?
repulsive forces between unshared pairs of electrons
Describe the role of each of the following in predicting molecular geometries a unshared electron pairs by double bonds?
Lone electron pairs give the geometry a triangular base, while double bonds make the molecular geometry bent or angular.
How do you name this molecule ch3 ch2 ch3?
CH3-CH2-CH3 is a gas Propane.
What is the Lewis Structure for selenium tetra hydride?
Since Selenium is in the same column as Oxygen and Sulfur, you would expect it to bond just like them. As a halogen, chlorine wants to make one bond so your final answer would be. Cl-Se-Cl with two lone pairs (that's 4 electrons) on selenium and 3 lone pairs (that's six electrons) on EACH chlorine.
Based on the Lewis structure the total number of unshared electrons pairs or nonbonding domains in the CO2 molecules is?
CO2 does not have unshared pairs of electrons.

How many unshared pairs of electrons does the nitrogen atom ammonia posses?
The nitrogen atom in ammonia has one unshared pair of electrons.
Does a molecule of bromine has six unshared pairs of electrons?
Yes it does for a fact
What is the role of unshared electron pairs in predicting molecular geometries?
Lone electron pairs give the geometry a triangular base.
How many unshared pairs of elections does the nitrogen atom in ammonia possess?
1 pair
In a tetrahedral molecule how many unshared pairs of valence electrons does the central atom have?
None
How many unshardd pairs of electrons are in a molecule of hydrogen iodide?
There would be three unshared pairs of electrons in a molecule of hydrogen iodide.
What is the name given to the pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in bonding ina diatomic oxygen molecules?
These pairs of electrons are referred to as lone pairs.
How many unshared pairs of electrons are in hydrogen iodide?
Oxygen has six (6) valence electrons. In the formation of a water molecule, two (2) of the valence electrons forms a covalent bond with two other hydrogen atoms leaving the water molecule with 2 unshared pairs of electron.
In writing Lewis structure how is the need for multiple bonds generally determined?
When there are not enough valence electrons to complete octets by adding unshared pairs. Source: My Chemistry Textbook :D
