Writing Hybridization and Bonding Schemes

Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding II Molecular Shapes, Valence Bond Theory, and Molecular Orbital Theory 

Write the Lewis structure for the molecuie. SOLUTION Brp3 has 28 valence electrons and the following Lewis structure F . T Br— F . . . F SOLUTION Acetaldehyde has 18 valence electrons and the following Lewis structure H 0 1 II H—C—C—H 1 H 

Select the correct hybridization for the central atom (or interior atoms) based on the electron geometry (see Table 10.3). A trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry corresponds to sp d hybridization. The leftmost carbon atom is sp hybridized, and the rightmost carbon atom is sp hybridized. 

Sketch the molecule, beginning with the centrai atom and its orbitais. Show overlap with the appropriate orbitals on the terminal atoms. 9SS
