Get started for freeConsider the two molecules \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\). They are both made of the same elements, and yet only one is polar. Why is this so?
Explain the difference between electron-group geometry and molecular shape. How do you use electron-group geometry when deciding what shape a molecule has?
True or false? All molecules that contain polar bonds must be polar. Explain your answer.
Draw a combined Lewis dot, molecular-shape diagram for each of the following species. Name each shape, and indicate whether the molecule or ion has a dipole moment. If so, draw the dipole moment vector. (Hint: See problem statement and hint for Problem 6.69.) (a) \(\mathrm{CHBr}_{3}\) (b) \(\mathrm{NF}_{3}\) (c) \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) (d) \(\mathrm{CS}_{2}\)
Imagine that you could vary the magnitude of the molecular dipole moment of all molecules in a substance. What would happen to the strength of the intermolecular forces between a group of molecules as the dipole moment of each molecule is increased? Explain.
