Question

Find point number of electron groups around central atom? Polarity? Number of Lone pairs for central atom? Lewis dot structure? Approximate bond angles? Electron pair arrangement around central atom/shape of the molecule? Hybridization of central atom? Symmetry elements and Points groups of compounds below.

a) COCl₂

b) SO₂

c)CCl₄

Answer 1

a) There are 4 electrons surrounded by carbon and which is bonded with other atoms. It is polar because the net dipole charge willnot cancel each other

b)There are 6 electrons surrounded by sulfur and 4 electrons participated in bonding while one lone pair is present,which make the molecule bent shape. It is polar

c)It is tetrahedral in shape with zero polarity,because the dipole charges cancel each other due to the opposite alignment
