Exam 4

Question 1

states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bonding pairs or in non-bonding pairs.

Answer 1

VSEPR theory

Question 2

n electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom.

Answer 2

electron domain

Question 3

three ways to go about determining whether a molecule is polar or not.

Answer 3

A. If the molecule has a net dipole, then it is polar.
B. If the structure is symmetric, then it is non-polar
C.1. When there are no lone pairs on the center atom, then the molecule is non-polar 2. If it is linear or square planar, then it is non-polar. 3. If it has different terminal atoms, then it is polar.

Question 4

in which atomic orbitals that are similar in energy but not equivalent are combined mathematically to produce sets of equivalent orbitals that are properly oriented to form bonds.

Answer 4

hybridization
