Question: 6. The following question rationalizes angles based on electronegativity arguments for SO2Cl2, SO2F2,SO2(CH3)2,SO2(CF3)2, and SO2(OH)2 : a. Draw Lewis dot structures for SO2Cl2 and SO2F2
6. The following question rationalizes angles based on electronegativity arguments for SO2Cl2, SO2F2,SO2(CH3)2,SO2(CF3)2, and SO2(OH)2 : a. Draw Lewis dot structures for SO2Cl2 and SO2F2 with the proper shape. b. The XSX(X= halogen) angles for these two structures are 96.1 and 100.3. Determine which angle is for which structure and rationalize why. c. Draw Lewis dot structures for SO2(CH3)2,SO2(CF3)2, and SO2(OH)2 with the proper shape. CF3 and CH3 groups can be treated as one unit without explicitly drawing all the electrons. d. The XSX(X=OH,CH3,CF3) angles for these structures are 101.3,102.6,102.0. Determine which angle is for which structure and rationalize why. e. Why are the XSX angles larger for the molecules in d than in a
