Molecular Geometry

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that most elements need 8 valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is the shape of a molecule with two bonding pairs and two lone pairs of electrons?

Back

The shape is Bent.

Front

Identify the molecule with the formula H2S based on its geometry.

Back

H2S has a Bent shape due to the presence of lone pairs on the central sulfur atom.

Front

Define a lone pair in molecular geometry.

Back

A lone pair is a pair of non-bonding electrons that are not shared with another atom.

Front

In covalent bonds, how are electrons treated?

Back

In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms.

Front

What is the molecular geometry of CO2?

Back

CO2 has a Linear geometry.

Front

What is the molecular geometry of NH3?

Back

NH3 has a Trigonal pyramidal geometry.

Front

What is the difference between bonding electrons and lone pair electrons?

Back

Bonding electrons are shared between atoms, while lone pair electrons are not involved in bonding.

Front

How many valence electrons does oxygen have?

Back

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Front

What is the molecular shape of CH4?

Back

CH4 has a Tetrahedral shape.
