Cl unhyb [Ne] 3s 3p 3d | | F| 3d The orbital diagram of F is [He]2s 2p Each of the three sigma bonds are formed by the overlap of a 2 p orbital on F with one of the half-filled dsp3 orbitals on Cl. Since the dsp3 hybridization has a trigonal bipyramidal shape, and the two lone pairs occupy the equatorial positions in the molecule, ClF3 is T-shaped. 13. (M) (a) This is a planar molecule. The hybridization on C is sp2 (one bond to each of the three attached atoms). (b) | N≡≡ C —C ≡≡ N| is a linear molecule. The hybridization for each C is sp (one bond to each of the two ligands). (c) Trifluoroacetonitrile is neither linear nor planar. The shape around the left-hand C is tetrahedral and that C has sp 3 hybridization. The shape around the right-hand carbon is linear and that C has sp hybridization.(N atom is sp hybridized). (d) 34. S C F F C F − N is a linear molecule. The hybridization for C is sp. (M) (a) In each case, the number of valence electrons in the species is determined first; this is followed by the molecular orbital diagram for each species.

This species is stable. This species is stable. + C2 has an odd number of electrons and is paramagnetic, with one unpaired electron. O2- has an odd number of electrons and is paramagnetic, with one unpaired electron. F2+ has an odd number of electrons and is paramagnetic, with one unpaired electron. NO+ has an even number of electrons and is diamagnetic. In Exercise 33, the species that are isoelectronic are those with 8 electrons: CN + , BN; with 10 electrons: NO+, CO, CN- 43. (M) We expect to find delocalized orbitals in those species for which bonding cannot be represented thoroughly by one Lewis structure, that is, for compounds that require several resonance forms. (a) (b) In C2H4 , there are a total of 2X4+4X1=12 valence electrons, or 6 pairs. C atoms are the central atoms. Thus, the bonding description of C2H4 does not involve the use of delocalized orbitals. H C C H H In SO2 , there are a total of 6+2X6= 18 valence electrons, or 9 pairs. N is the central atom. A plausible Lewis structure has two resonance forms. The bonding description of SO 2 will require the use of delocalized molecular orbitals. O (c) H S O O S O 454 H C H | | In H2 CO , there are a total of 2X1+4+6=12 valence electrons, or 6 pairs. C is the central atom. A plausible Lewis structure is shown on the right. Because one Lewis structure adequately represents the bonding in the molecule, the bonding description of H2CO does not involve the use of delocalized molecular orbitals. O
