(9) For each pair of molecules or ions below (i) Draw the Lewis dot structures. (If there is resonance, draw it.) (ii) Draw/Describe the VSEPR structures, including bonded electron pairs and lone pairs. (iii) Describe the structure of the molecule, considering all the bonds and atoms (but not lone pairs.) i.e., is the molecule straight? bent? etc. Angles between atoms? (iv) Indicate whether each molecule has a dipole moment, and mark the positive and negative poles. (v) Choose which molecule...
