Document Summary

Chem 6 sample exam 3 solutions: (a) co, (c) brf3, Bbr3, like bf3, is trigonal planar and the b-br bond dipoles cancel out. The same is true for trigonal bipyramidal pf5. Linear co has a dipole moment since c and o have different electronegativities. Brf3 is a distorted t-shape, and the bond dipoles don"t cancel out. Xef4 is square planar, and the bond dipoles cancel out: (a) o3 has a structure based on the trigonal plane, since there are 2 oxygens and 1 lone pair on the central o. Therefore, its idealized geometry is bent with an o-o-o angle of 120 . Its idealized structure is a square pyramid, but to avoid repulsion from the lone pair, it will distort such that the bond angle fsquare-plane-br-faxial is less than the ideal 90 : (a) gacl4. : this has 32 valence electrons, and its structure is based on tetrahedral geometry at ga (4 electron pairs around the central atom).
