How to solve Geometrical structure Question?

Posted on 2014-12-04 08:18:00 in Math by LESA

Can you please help me with any of these?

you are asked by your instructor to construct a model of the NH2Cl molecule.

1.) The model consists of balls and sticks. How many holes should be in the ball you select for the N atom?____________ the H atoms? ____________ the Cl atom? ____________

2)The electrons in the molecule are paired, and each stick represents a valence electron pair. How many sticks do you need? ____________

3.) Assemble a skeleton structure for the molecule, connecting the balls with sticks into one unit. Use the rule that N atoms form 3 bonds, whereas Cl atoms and H atoms usually form only 1. How many sticks did you need to make the skeleton structure?____________

4)How many sticks are left over? ____________ If your model is to obey the octet rule, each ball must have four sticks in it (except for hydrogen atom balls, which need and can only have one). (Each atom in an octet rule species is surrounded by four pairs of electrons.) How many holes remain to be filled?____________

5.) Describe the geometry of the model, which is that of NH2Cl. ____________ Is the NH2Cl molecule
polar? ____________ Why? Would you expect NH2Cl to have any isomeric forms? ____________ Explain your reasoning.

6.) Would NH2Cl have any resonance structures? ____________
