Part A: Hybridization, VSEPR, and Intermolecular Forces-Use the compound you have been assigned

on the Homework C Page (Outcomes 7.3, 7.4, 8.3, 8.4)

1. Research the chemical formula of your compound

2. Hand Draw the Lewis Structure of your compound. This should be neatly drawn and large enough to clearly

see the bonds and lone pairs. Label the following use different colors to clearly identify the pieces-you can

create a key/legend for me)

Identify the hybridization of each atom that is bonded to more than one other atom.

Identify the VSEPR/Molecular Geometry around each atom that is bonded to more than one other

atom.

Identify the bond angle around each atom that is bonded to more than one other atom.

3. Model your compound to accurately reflect bond lengths and angles. Below are a couple of programs you

may find helpful on this step. Screen shot your model and embed it into your document.

4. Is your substance polar or nonpolar? Explain how you know.

5. What IMFs (intermolecular forces) are possible for your compound?

• Draw a couple of your molecules exhibiting the strongest of these forces. You can use dashed lines (in a

different color) to show between which atoms of the molecule the IMFs occur
