MOLECULAR STRUCTURES—Exp. H-1 ; Pre-Lab Assignment: Study the sections of your textbook on Lewis Structures and Molecular Geometries (ie,, Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion theory). Alternatively or in addition, } you can study the supplements to this experiment on pages 124-187 of this lab manual. ‘Study Supplement #3, page 138, on 3-D drawings. In this laboratory period you will be asked to determine the Lewis Structures and the three-dimensional ‘geometries of molecular species starting only with molecular formulas. Timus there will be no lab work, per se. The lab time is to be used to help you perfect your skills at deducing Lewis Structures and, most ‘importantly, to help you become acquainted with various molecular geometries, Model kits or balls and sticks will be availabie so that you can construct 8-D models of the molecules. Dy ‘You will be assigned to work with one of the lists of molecular species on the next page. You are to do the : following for each species, writing your answers on the work sheets provided: ) ) 1. Determine the number of valence electrons in the molecule. (See your text and/or Supplement #1, page 124,) 2, Determine the Lewis Structure of the molecule. (See your text and/or Supplement #1, page 124.) 8, Determine the geometry around each centralized atom in the molecule from the Lewis Structure, See your text and/or Supplement #2, page 130.) 4, Construct an exact geometric model of the molecule using the materials provided. 5. Draw an exact 3-D representation of the molecule from the model. (See Supplement #3, page 188) ) ) ‘Examples of how the work sheets are to be filled in are given on page 122. ) 115MOLECULAR SPECIES LIST List #1 1. SiCly (no CLC! bonds) 2. PCI; (no Cl-Cl bonds) 3.
