Question: Rationalize the shorter than predicted bonds in: (4 pts each) a) C-F: 1.48 A (cale'd) vs 1.32 A (experimental) A = 0.16 A b)
Rationalize the shorter than predicted bonds in: (4 pts each) a) C-F: 1.48 A (cale'd) vs 1.32 A (experimental) A = 0.16 A b) B-F: 1.52 A (cale'd) vs 1.30 A (experimental) A-0.22 A Using VSEPR, draw an accurate geometric structure for the following molecules (4 pts each). b) Identify the Electronic and Molecular geometries for each (2 pts each): a) SO d) IFs b) XeF e) SF4 a) Give the electron configurations for (2pts each): i. K ii. Cu b) The 1st ionization energies for K and Cu are 418.8 and 745.5 kJ/mol, respectively. Does this make sense given their similar electron configurations? Explain. (4 pts) The principles of Valence Bond Theory (VBT) state that molecules form from the combination of atomic orbitals. If this is the case, explain the tetrahedral electronic geometry of HO. (10 pts)
