Question

More quantum and compound shape questions

what are the electron pair and molecular shapes (2 kinds) of these compounds?\[\cancel{C_{2}H_{6}}\]\[C_{2}H_{4}\]\[C_{2}H_{2}\]
(More will be pasted as time goes on)

Answer 1

second one:

Answer 2

what are the electron pair and molecular shapes (2 kinds) of these compounds?\[\cancel{C_{2}H_{6}}\]\[C_{2}H_{4}\]\[C_{2}H_{2}\]

Answer 3

yeah, the electron pair shape and the molecular shape
and I cross out first one cause we finished it

Answer 4

☺

Answer 5

what do you think for C2H4?

Answer 6

professor says linear is wrong

Answer 7

for electron but I don't see any non linear stuff

Answer 8

tetrahedral?

Answer 9

i have a formula for predicting it

Answer 10

oh? o:

Answer 11

except if oxygen is included
cuz i forgot how to deal with oxygen ?

Answer 12

oh
that's ok!

Answer 13

first find electron pair
electron pairs = 1/2( no of valence electrons of central atom + no of atoms linked to central atom by single bonds )

Answer 14

For negative ions,add number of units of negative charge to it
for positive ions,subtract number of units of positive charge to it

Answer 15

*sorry, multitasking > <*

Answer 16

so we have central atom as carbon

Answer 17

valence electrons of carbon=4
