- Borax has the molecular formula Na2B4O5(OH)4. The structure of the anion in this compound is shown below. What is the electron pair geometry and molecular geometry surrounding each of the boron atoms in this anion? What hybridization can be assigned to each of the boron atoms? What is the formal charge of each boron atom?arrow_forwardThe three most stable oxides of carbon are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon suboxide (C3O2). The space-filling models for these three compounds are For each oxide, draw the Lewis structure, predict the molecular structure, and describe the bonding (in terms of the hybrid orbitals for the carbon atoms).arrow_forwardFor the following descriptions of molecules, draw the Lewis structure (showing all atoms, lone pairs, formal changes) of the molecule and show all bond angles (assuming ideal VSEPR angles) 2) An organic compound with molecular formula H2CNO+. Both C and O are sp hybridized while N is sp3 hybridized.arrow_forward

Determine the optimum formal charge structure. Determine the VSEPR domain and molecular geometries for the central carbon atoms. Determine the hybridization of the carbons and oxygens. Determine the polarity of the molecule; show the polarity arrows and partial charges for the molecule. (Electronegativities: H 2.1,C 2.5, O 3.5)arrow_forwardElectrons in bonds are negatively charged and therefore repel each other. If you had a molecule of formula AB 2 , with A being the central atom, what would you predict the 3D shape to be to allow maximum distance between the two B atoms bonded to A? Linear shape, with a B atom on each side of A and a bond angle of 80 degrees A bent or V shape, with a B - A - B bond angle less than 180°arrow_forward
