Lewis Structure Hybrid Orbital Prob

This document contains questions about Lewis structures, hybrid orbitals, molecular geometry and polarity. It asks the reader to identify the hybrid orbitals used in certain molecules like methane and ethylene. It also asks the reader to determine the number of sigma and pi bonds in molecules like carbon dioxide and cyclobutadiene. Finally, it contains questions about identifying polar vs nonpolar molecules and arranging other molecules like HBr, HCl, HF and HI by increasing dipole moment.

Hybrid Orbital Problems


30. The Se C
Se molecule is non-polar because
a. the bonds in the molecule are all non-polar.
b. the bonds in the molecule are all polar but their effect on the overall polarity is canceled
by the effect of lone pairs in the valence shell of the carbon atom.
c. the bonds in the molecule are all polar but their effect on the overall polarity is
canceled by the fact that they are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed.
d. the bonds in the molecule are all polar but the polar effect is canceled by the resonance
hybrids which distribute the charge evenly.
