Question

Choose the best answer for each question and code it onto the Scantron make extrancous scratch paper. Mark answer know what your answers were w sheet. Fill in the Scantron sheet carefully; dom't your answers on the exam paper in addition to coding them into the Scantron sheet, so that you will marks on it. Only answers on the Scantron sheet will be scored. Use the backs of the exam pages as hen you download the key from BlackBoard. 1.

Explanation / Answer

1.b. Sb^3-
    2. c. tetrahydral
    3. d. seesaw
    4. [F-Cl-F]^- central atom cl has three lone pair of electrons anf two
       bond pair of electrons . So it has linear shape.
      e. ClF2^- anion is linear with a central Cl atom and three lone pair
       on the Cl atom.
    5. trigonal planar
        b . Sp^2
    6.c. Sp^3
