Question

Consider the following compounds. Choose 3 molecules, and answer the following for each one of them: [6 points each molecule] (1) SnF$_4^{2-}$ (2) SCl$_3^+$ (3) TeO$_2$ (4) XeCl$_5^+$ (a) Draw the correct Lewis Structure, according to VSEPR theory. (b) Give the electron-domain geometry (arrangement). (c) What is the molecular geometry (shape)? (d) What is the hybridization of the central atom? (e) What is the formal charge of the central atom? (f) Is the molecule polar or non-polar?

Step 1

SnF4: - Lewis Structure: Sn: 1 lone pair, 4 bonding pairs F: 3 lone pairs, 1 bonding pair Total electron pairs: 5 + 4(6) = 29 The Lewis structure would be: F:Sn:F with the lone pairs on the Sn atom. - Electron-domain geometry: The Sn atom has Show more…
