Updated Dec. 14/04 -- by Dr.Bird #27, 47, 51, 65b have been updated to fix typos... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMERICAL ANSWERS TO ASSIGNED TUTORIAL PROBLEM SETS FOR CHEM205 FROM KOTZ & TREICHEL'S CHEMISTRY & CHEMICAL REACTIVITY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: none of the answers from Ch.10 have been verified NOTE: "^" means "raised to the power of..." to indicate scientific notation... NOTE: I cannot represent superscripts/subscripts here -- so...for polyatomic ions, I have left a space between the ion's formula and its charge Ch. Q# Comments ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 1 The electron density of a sigma-bond is greatest along the axis of the bond, while in the pi-bond, the is maximum in two regions on opposite sides of the bond axis. 10 3 sp: 180 deg; sp2: 120 deg; sp3: 180 deg. 10 5 tetrahedral: sp3 trigonal planar: sp2 linear: sp octahedra: sp3d2 trigonal bipyramidal: sp3d 10 19 ClF2 +: :electron pair geometry: tetrahedral, molecular geometry bent, Cl is sp3 hybridized, and two of these hybrids overlap with F 2p orbitals to form the 2 Cl-F bonds. 10 21 AlF4 -: The "electron pair" and molecular geometries are both tetrahedral. The Al atom is sp3 hybridized, Each hybrid orbital overlaps with an F 2p orbital to form 4 Al-F bonds. 10 23 (a) CSe2: sp; (b) SO2: sp2; (c) CH2O: sp2; (d) NH4 +: sp3 10 25a N (both, actually): sp3; C: sp2 25b C of CH3: sp3; C of C=C and C=O: sp2 25c C of C=C: sp2; C of C to N triple bond: sp 10 27a XeOF4: "electron pair geometry": octahedral, molecular geometry: square pyramidal, sp3d2. 27b BrF5: "electron pair geometry: octahedral, molecular geometry: square pyramidal, sp3d2. 27c SOF4: "electron pair geometry: trigonal bipyramid, molecular geometry: trigonal bipyramidal, sp3d. 27d Br3 -: "electron pair geometry: trigonal bipyramid, molecular geometry: linear, sp3d. 10 29a HOSO2F: 32 valence e-, "electron pair geometry" and molecular geometry at sulphur is tetrahedral: sp3. 29b SO3F -: same as part (a). 10 31 SO2F2: "electron pair geometry": tetrahedral, molecular geometry: tetrahedral, sp3. 10 43 ClF2 +: "electron pair geometry": tetrahedral, molecular geometry: bent, sp3: 109 deg. ClF2 -: "electron pair geometry": trigonal bipyramid, molecular geometry: linear, sp3d: 180 deg. 10 45 The resonance structures are in the text. They all have th same sp2 (trigonal) hybridization. The unused 2p-orbital on N is used to make the pi-bond. 10 47 CO2: hybridization: linear - sp, bond angle: 180 deg, C to O bond order: 2. CO3 2-: hybridization: trigonal - sp2, bond angle: 120 deg, C to O bond order: 4/3. 10 49a CH3 carbon: sp3; C=N carbon: sp2; N atom: sp2. 49b C=N-O angle: 120 deg. 10 51a Angle A = 120 deg; angle B = 109 deg (actually will be distorted because of lone pairs...to approx. 105 deg); angle C = 109 deg; angle D = 120 deg. 51b Carbon 1: sp2; carbon 2: sp2; carbon 3: sp3. 10 59 XeO3: "electron pair geometry": tetrahedral - sp3, molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal. XeO4: "electron pair geometry": tetrahedral - sp3, molecular geometry: tetrahedral. 10 65a C6 ring C atoms: sp2; side chain C atoms sp3; Natom: sp3. 65b angle A = 120 deg; angle B = 109 deg; angle C = 109 deg. (actually will be less... because of lone pair occupying more space than bonding pairs) 65c 23 sigma-bonds and 3 pi-bonds. 65d The molecule is polar. 65e The H+ ion attaches to the most electronegative atom in the molecule, i.e. N.
