Category 2 VSEPR shapes
Challenge 1 Be the first person to draw a molecule with a bent shape.
Challenge 1 answer
Challenge 2 Be the first person to draw the Lewis dot structure for an NH3 molecule and identify the vsepr shape.
Challenge 2 answer Trigonal Pyramidal
Challenge 3 Draw the Lewis dot structure of a HCN molecule and identify the vsepr shape
Challenge 3 Answer Linear
Category 3 Polarity
Challenge 4 Draw the Lewis dot structure of H2S and display the polarity of the bonds
Challenge 4 answer
Question 4 What is defined as a molecule that has a more positively charged side and a more negatively charged side?
Answer 4 Dipole
Challenge 5 Draw the Lewis dot structure of a CF3H molecule and justify whether or not it is polar.
Challenge 5 Answer The molecule is polar because the individual polarities of the bonds do not all cancel out, causing the molecule as a whole to exhibit a polarity.
Intermolecular Forces Category 4 Intermolecular Forces
Question 6 Which intermolecular force (IMF) is present in all polar molecules?
Answer 6 Dipole interactions
Question 7 Which of the intermolecular forces occurs between an electronegative atom on one molecule and a partially positive charged hydrogen on another molecule?
Answer 7 Hydrogen bonding
Question 8 Which intermolecular force is caused by the movement of electrons?
London dispersion forces Answer 8 London dispersion forces
Question 9 List the intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength.
Answer 9 Weakest: london dispersion forces; Middle: dipole interactions; Strongest: hydrogen bonding
Question 10 Name all of the intermolecular forces experienced by the molecule HCN.
Dispersion forces and dipole interactions Answer 10 Dispersion forces and dipole interactions
