One facet of the central field approximation for many-electron
atoms is that inner-shell electrons screen the nuclear charge. To
understand how this works quantitatively, first note that the
probability distributions for electrons in different shells
generally do not overlap much. For instance, the electrons in the M
shell (n=3) are almost always farther from the nucleus than the
electrons of the K (n=1) and L (n=2) shells. Thus, it is a good
approximation to assume that the inner shells completely...
Draw the Lewis structures and determine which of these molecules
has a central atom that violates the octet rule. BCl3 XeF2 SO2 CS2
NH3 PCl3 SO3 IF5 NO3-
explain in your own words, why in some molecules
containing central atoms like I and S can "violate" the octet rule
and have more than 8 electrons around them
Draw valid Lewis structure of the flowing molecules showing all
lone pairs of electrons and overall charges. Draw the Lewis
structure and name the electronic arrangement. Draw and name the
molecular structure.
Molecules: FCO2-, BrF2+
Repulsion of electrons within two interacting molecules produces
changes in electron distribution. This change in electron
distribution creates temporary dipole moments. Which of the
following does this explain?
Choose one or more:
A. This explains why the dipole-dipole attractive force between
dimethyl ether and acetone does not entirely account for the
attractive force between these molecules. B. This explains why
ammonia and nitrogen gas exhibit an attractive force between them.
C. This explains how the molecules hydrogen fluoride and methanol...
Using the values found for all the molecules, determine the average bond angle for systems with carbon as the central atom with 4, 3, and 2 bounded atoms in a linear molecule and when the central carbon atoms has 3 bonded atoms in a ring molecule. Do the same for nitrogen as the central atom with 3 and 2 bonded atoms. Determine the geometry around each of these atoms.
Question 3
The electronic structure of atoms and molecules may be
investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. An electron in a
photoelectron spectrometer is accelerated from rest by a uniform
electric field to a speed of 420 km s−1 in 10 µs.

a.
8.0 x 10-2 N.m
b.
1.6 x 10-25 N.m
c.
3.8 x 10-25 N.m
d.
4..0 x 10-2 N.m
