APPLICATION QUESTIONS - Ipointeach
1. View the molecule chosen in question I in the different representations possible (ball- WHY). Which model do YOU THINK provides the best representation of a molecule and explain?
2. The electronic and molecular geometries studied in this experiment only went up to molecules with 6 electron domains. There are some molecules that can take on an AX format (namely those with a large halogen atom in the center, such as IF). Propose a possible molecular geometry for this molecule by drawing it in the wedge-dash format below. Indicate what the approximate bond angles would be. Propose a possible name for this molecular geometry based on your wedge-dash model and include a rationale for the choice of name.
