Answer #1

a) ClNO

structure and electron geometry of the compound is as follows-

Explanation- Adding up the valence electrons, 7 (Cl) + 5 (N) + 6 (O) = 18

Substracting it by highest multiple of 8 (i.e 16), we get 2. Centeral atom will have lone pair of two electrons.

b) CS2

structure and electron geometry of the compound is as follows-

It's a linear structure.

c) Cl2CO

According to octet rule, adding up the valence electrons, 14 (Cl) + 4 (C) + 6 (O) = 24

Subtracting by highest multiple of 8 gives us zero hence the central atom will have no lone pair.

d) Cl2SO

It has a different geometry from Cl2SO because according to octet rule (sum of valence electron= 26; 26-24= 2) central atom would have a lone pair.

Why is the valence shell electron pair repulsion model used to predict molecular geometry? Lone pair repulsion is stronger than bonding pair repulsion. Valence electrons are constantly moving. Lewis structures of molecules can tell the bond strength between atoms. Lone pair electrons of the central atom are attracted to the bonding pair electrons.
