I need help with the following questions....dont understand at all! 1. Draw the lewis structure of SCl4 2- Name the shape, bond angle, formal charge on each atom and type of hybridization 2. Among these compounds: LiF, MgO, CaS, CsI Which Ionic Compound is the most soluble? Briefly explain. Which compound has a highest melting point? explain. 3. Lone Pairs: 1; Bonding Pairs on Central atom: 4; Bond Angle: ?; Type of hybridization: ? Lone Pairs: 2; Bonding Pairs on Central atom; 4; Bond Angle: ?; Type of hybridization: ? If anyone could help explain these to me it would be FANTASTIC.... thanks in advance!
for Q1... is S= silicon and not sulphur? ifs sulphur i dont think they'll bond if silicon cl | S /|\ Cl Cl Cl tetrahedral shape Q3. square base pyramid square planar
no its definitely sulfur.... i think it might be similar to SF6, except theres 4 Cl's and then theres 2 lone pairs....but im not sure about angles and such...
