Chapter 10: Q10.37P (page 406)

Determine the electron-group arrangement, molecular shape, and ideal bond angle(s) for each of the following: (a) SO3 (b)N2O (N is central) (c)CH2Cl2 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The shapes and bond angles of molecules can be determined from the VSEPR theory. The deviations arise mainly due to lone pair-lone pair repulsions.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:  SO3

The sulphur atom sp2 is hybridised. The structure of the molecule would be trigonal planar around the central atom sulphur. The ideal bond angle would bedata-custom-editor="chemistry" 1200 .

02

Step 2:  N2O

The expected arrangement would be linear around the central atom N. Ideal bond angle would be1800.

03

Step 3:  CH2Cl2

The expected shape of the molecule is tetrahedral. The expected bond angle is 109.50 . However, the bond pair of C-Cl bond and C-H bond experience repulsion which may decrease the bond angle between C-H bond and increase between C-Cl.
