- 1A2: Define electron pair domain (EPD), count EPDS on building blocks, and use EPD knowledge to determine 3D geometry and bond angles of a tetrahedral, trigonal planar, linear building block. For the indicated atoms (look for the arrows) in each of the given structures: (a) state how many EPDs are present; (b) Label tetrahedral atoms with "TET," trigonal planar atoms with "TP," and linear atoms with "LIN;" (c) Identify one (1) indicated atom in each structure for which resonance structures bring a change in the number of EPDs from 4++3/3+4 or 3+2/2+3. A resonance structure must be reported to justify your reported EPD changes.

- Prediction of Molecular Structure III Because the noble gases have filled s and p valence orbitals, they were not expected to be chemically reactive. In fact, for many years these elements were called inert gases because of this supposed inability to form any compounds. However, in the early 1960s several compounds of krypton, xenon, and radon were synthesized. For example, a team at the Argonne National Laboratory produced the stable colorless compound xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4). Predict its structure and whether it has a dipole moment.arrow_forward(a) The nitric oxide molecule, NO, readily loses one electronto form the NO+ ion.
