What charge does 2 electrons have?
2 unbalanced electrons have a 2- charge on the molecule/atom
Are the atoms sharing electrons?
Atoms which form covalent bonds do share electrons. An example would be the atoms in a water molecule. Yes, the electrons are really shared.
When can resonance structures be written for a molecule?
When two or more valid electron dot structures that have the same number of electrons pairs for a molecule or ion.
Is SF4 a resonance structure?
SF4 is not a resonance structure. It is a non-polar covalent molecule with polar bonds
A molecule of chlorophyll increases in potential energy?
when one of its electrons is boosted to a higher-energy excited state upon being struck by a photon of light.
What is the shape of the molecule of nbr3?
The lone unbonded pair of electrons around nitrogen dictates that the NBr3 molecule will have a 3-D trigonal pyramidal shape.
What is molecular shape of BF3?
The shape of this molecule is Trigonal Planar. this is because it has no lone pairs of electrons so it maintains a 2D shape.
What is the polarity of the HCl molecule due to?
Greater attraction of the chlorine nucleus for the shared electrons, large differences in electronegativity, and shape of the molecule.
Why BeCl2 is linear?
Both of the Cl ions have the same pull on the electrons; therefore, we can infer that this will be a symmetrical molecule. It will be linear because there are no free electron pairs to influence the shape. H2O is bent because of these electron interactions.
A molecule with a bent shape with a bond angle of 104.5 would have how many unshared electrons around the central atom Count electrons not electron pairs?
four electrons . four electrons .
Why do water molecules have bent shape and carbon dioxide molecules have a linear shape?
In a water molecule, there are two lone pairs of electrons connected to the oxygen. The lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms, creating a bent shape. In CO2, however, there are two double bonds and no lone electrons on the central atom, hence the molecule has a linear shape.
What factors affect the shape of the molecule?
The factors affecting the shape of the molecules are the bonded e and the lone pairs of electrons
What is the shape of a molecule which has three shared pairs of electrons and no unshared pairs?
The molecule is likely to have a trigonal planar shape, where the three shared electron pairs are arranged symmetrically around the central atom, creating a flat triangle. This results in an angle of 120 degrees between each electron pair.
The hybridization of the valence electrons on the carbon atom in CO2 is The electron pair geometry is and the shape of the molecule is?
sp, linear, linear
Why does water have a molecular geometry instead of bein linear?
Water is not a linear molecule because of the location of oxygen's electron orbits. The bonding electrons are angled and this results in the shape of the molecule.
How does the shape of molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
How does the shape of the molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
