Chapter 10: Q10.38 P (page 406)
Name the shape and give the classification and ideal bond angle(s) for each of the following general molecules:
(a)
(b)
(c)
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.

A gaseous compound has a composition by mass of 24.8% carbon, 2.08% hydrogen, and 73.1% chlorine. At STP, the gas has a density of 4.3 g/L. Draw a Lewis structure that satisfies these facts. Would another structure also satisfy them? Explain
Draw the Lewis structure with lowest formal charges, and determine the charge of each atom in
(a) OCS
(b) NO.
Draw Lewis structures of all the important resonance forms of (a) (H is attached to C); (b)
Draw a Lewis structure for (a) ; (b) ; (c)(C is central).
Which of these atoms cannot serve as a central atom in a Lewis structure?
Explain.
