Chapter 1, Problem 15CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for not having an official shape as defined in Model 4 for molecule H-F should be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The angle which is described by the lines that joined the centers of two atoms to a third atom to which all atoms are covalently bonded is known as a bond angle.

In simple language, an angle that is defined by any three atoms in a molecule is known as a bond angle.

Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory is used to determine the geometry of different molecules from the electron pairs present around their central atoms.

The chart of VSEPR theory is shown below:

answer 3 and 5. PLS MAKE IT LIKE THIS WAY SO THAT I UNDERSTAND IT  IONIC YES OR NO  POLAR YES OR NO  NON POLAR YES OR NO  IMF EXIST IS..... NO EXPLANATION NEEDED.
Read This! The attractive and repulsive forces in an atom are rather complex. An electron is attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but it is also repelled by the other electrons in the atom. It is important to note however that the attractive force of the nucleus is NOT divided up among the electrons in the atom. Each electron gets approximately the full attractive force of the nucleus (minus the repulsive effects of other electrons). Compare the diagram below to set D in Model 3. Notice the similarity in attractive force. 0.10 nm 0.10 nm approx. 4.60 x 10-8 (on each electron) Model 4 – Period 3 Elements Aluminum Chlorine Sodium What does it MEAN? What do you WONDER?
