Question

In this question you will be asked to draw several Lewis structures and determine the geometry, bond angle, and hybridization about the central atom

For the molecule IF5 determine the following:

Molecular geometry  ---Select--- linear trigonal planar bent tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal trigonal bipyramidal T-shaped seesaw octahedral square pyramidal square planar
Electron domain geometry  ---Select--- linear trigonal planar bent tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal trigonal bipyramidal T-shaped seesaw octahedral square pyramidal square planar
Hybridization  ---Select--- sp sp2 sp3 sp3d sp3d2
Bond angle  ---Select--- < 90 90 < 109.5 109.5 < 120  120 180

For the molecule SeO2 determine the following:

Molecular geometry  ---Select--- linear trigonal planar bent tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal trigonal bipyramidal T-shaped seesaw octahedral square pyramidal square planar
Electron domain geometry  ---Select--- linear trigonal planar bent tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal trigonal bipyramidal T-shaped seesaw octahedral square pyramidal square planar
Hybridization  ---Select--- sp sp2 sp3 sp3d sp3d2
Bond angle  ---Select--- < 90 90 < 109.5 109.5 < 120  120 180
