- Draw the Lewis structure of SeF₆ and then determine its electron domain and molecular geometries.arrow_forwardIn the trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, why does a lone pair occupy an equatorial position rather than an axial position?arrow_forwardThe molecules SiF4, SF4, and XeF4 have molecular formulas of the type AF4, but the molecules have different molecular geometries. Predict the shape of each molecule, and explain why the shapes differ.arrow_forward
- Write the two resonances formula for benzene, C6H6, (note the carbon atoms are all bonded to each other forming a ring.). What is the geometry about any one of the carbon atoms? What hybridization would be used in valence bond theory to describe the bonding? The ∆Hf for C6H6(g) is actually -83 kJ/mol. What is the equation for the standard molar enthalpy of formation form benzene? Use the standard enthalpy of formation equation and ∆Hf for C(g) 715 kJ/mol and H2(g) is 0 kJ/mol. Calculate the estimate enthalpy of formation of benzene. Then calculate the resonance energy of benzene. The resonance energy is defined as ∆Hf (estimated) – ∆Hf (actual).arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure of hydrogen cyanide, (HCN) and then choose the appropriate pair of molecular geometries of the two central atoms.

- The concept of valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) is presented in introductory organic chemistry as a way to predict molecular geometries. The idea be- hind VSEPR is that areas of electron density repel each other so that the geometry of bonds and/or lone pairs of electrons around any one atom places these areas as far apart as possible. For four areas of electron density, a tetrahedral geometry is predicted. For three areas of electron density, a trigonal planar geometry is predicted. Two areas of electron density lead to a linear geometry. VSEPR is simply a predictive tool, but in some cases, it gives an incorrect prediction. In these instances, additional insights into bonding are necessary, such as resonance. Interestingly, several important situations are critical to biochemistry where VSEPR breaks down. Two examples are shown here. :O: CH3 H,N H3N CH3 H :0: :0: Histidine The circled nitrogen atoms are predicted by VSEPR to be tetrahedral in geometry because each…arrow_forwardWhich of the following molecules do not exist under the molecular orbital theory?
