Unit 2.7: VSEPR and Hybridization
Identify the VSEPR geometry for a given molecule.
-
What is the VSEPR geometry of methane CH4?
Justify the properties of a compound based on its geometry (e.g., presence of a dipole moment).
-
Explain if CH4 and H2O are polar base on their VSEPR geometries.
Assign bond angles based on hybridization (up to sp³).
-
What are the bond angles of BF3, H2O, and CO2?
Count the number of pi and sigma bonds in a molecule.
-
How many sigma and pi bonds are in ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4), and Ethyne (C2H2)?
