Question

9. For the molecule CH20, a. Draw the Lewis Dot structure below. b. Draw CH2O in the molecular shape. Name the molecular shape of CH20. c. Is CH20 polar or nonpolar? Draw arrows on your structure in Question 9b to show your understanding. d. Name the intermolecular forces that are found in this structure. e. Water is polar. Would you expect CH2O to be soluble in water? Explain.

Answer 1

first write the lewis structure and then find the shape and the polarity and the intermolecular forces as follows

9) a) lecsis F H .CH1 => CHOO (XI b) Molecular shape - Triganel planar c) polar / (total det dipole direction) d) o condon Dispersion forces - 2) Dipde-Dipole forces Hydrogen es yes soluble of forms the bond Hydrogen bonding h uoc/ H
