Listing 10 of 33 questions
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR) is a model of electron-pair repulsion (including lone pairs) that can be used to deduce the shapes of, and bond angles in, simple molecules. Complete the table below by using simple hydrogen-containing compounds. One example has been included. number of bond pairs number of lone pairs shape of molecule formula of a molecule with this shape trigonal planar BH3 Tellurium, Te, proton number 52, is used in photovoltaic cells. When fl uorine gas is passed over tellurium at 150 °C, the colourless gas TeF6 is formed. Draw a ‘dot-and-cross’ diagram of the TeF6 molecule, showing outer electrons only. What will be the shape of the TeF6 molecule? What is the F–Te–F bond angle in TeF6?
