Chapter 13, Problem 38E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron-pair and molecular geometry of the space-filling or ball-and-stick model is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Molecular geometry is the 3-D representation of the molecule in a space. The Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density, the bonding electrons as well as lone pair of electrons holds the shape of the molecule.

NO3 Sketch the proper Lewis structure for this substance. Be sure to follow octet/duet rules for each atom and use the total number of valence electrons available. Use your drawing to answer the following questions. Count the total number of electron domains surrounding the central atom. Enter the value only. Enter the name corresponding to the electron domain geometry. Choices are: linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral. Enter the name corresponding to the molecular geometry. Choices are: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, bent, or trigonal pyramidal. Predict the bond angle. Enter the value without units. Use a "<" if needed.
1. VSEPR theory specifies "valence shell" electrons. Explain why these are the most critical electrons for determining molecular shape?
Use the Molecule Shape simulator (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16MolecShape) to build amolecule. Starting with the central atom, click on the double bond to add one double bond. Then add one single bond and one lone pair. Rotate the molecule to observe the complete geometry. Name the electron group geometry and molecular structure and predict the bond angle. Then click the check boxes at the bottom and right of the simulator to check your answers.
