What would be the shapes of these molecules? I drew them out but I couldn't still figure out the exact shape names a. SeO_{3} b. HClO_{2} c. NO_{2}^{-} d.ClF_{5}

3. Which of the following is the molecular shape of the ion, ICl4-? A. Tetrahedral B. See saw C. Square planar D. Square pyramidal E. Trigonal pyramidal I drew the lewis structure, 4 chlorines bound to an Iodine. Iodine has 7, Each clorine has 7 with 35 total, the bonds...

Hi, Can anyone explain to me why IF5 is square pyrimidal and not trigonal bipyrimidal?

Just how was it determined from electron wavefunctions calculated by schrodingers equation? For example, if i take the 1S and 2P wavefunctions ( ground state wavefunction against distance from nucleus) http://www.shef.ac.uk/chemistry/orbitron/AOs/1s/wave-fn.html...

brane and string shapes ? Hello, I am an uneducated savage so please bear with me and respond in laymans terms if possible so essentially I have 2 questions I was wondering if all variations of string shapes could be made from sections of a figure 8 shaped string which co incidentally or not...

what does a CO(subscript3)^-2 look like? (as in the drawing and the shape of the molecule?

Hi I wonder if you could help me with the following multiple choice questions: [1] Which of the following does not have a dipole moment a) H20 b)NH3 c)CO2 D)SF4 E)BRCL5 Are we just suppose to know that the answer is CO2 or is there some simple way of working it out...
