Question

5. Give the hybridization, electron pair geometry, and molecular geometry of the centrail atom(s) in the structures in question 3, 6. For any molecule in question 1 containing lone pair electrons on the central atom, look up and record the literature values for the bond angles of the molecular structure 7. Read the section on hybrid orbitals in your book. Explain how hybrid orbitals are formed using the sp' hybrid orbitals as the example. 8. Double and triple bonds also use hybrid orbitals but they are combined with non-hybridized orbitals. Draw a schematic of a double and triple bond showing how the hybrid and non-hybrid orbitals are used to make the bonds. Use C,H, and C,H, as the example molecules, respectively 156 Investigating Molecular Structurel Laboratory 11
