Covalent Bonding, Shapes Of Polyatomic Molecules And Polyatomic Ions Flashcards
He actual ozone is described as being a
Hybrid of the two resonance structure
There are two ways in which ozone can be represented by dot diagrams
These are both resonance structure
One structure would be insufficient in explaining the structure of ozone
The bond lengths are known as intermediate which is
Between a normal bond and a double bond
If all electrons are landing pairs hey will take up these arrangements
Electron pairs = arrangement 2 = linear 3 = trigonal 4= tetrahedral 5 = trigonal bipyramidal 6 = octahedral
If we have four electron pairs ( 3 bond and one lone pair)
Ammonia
Lone pair at the too squeezes the normal pairs together to give true tetrahedron
Four pairs (2 bonding 2 lone pairs )
Water
Bent as two lone pairs near top squeeze normal ones down
Examples of a trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral
Trig bi = PCl5
Octahedral = Sf6
