Question

10. (1 pt.) When measuring bond lengths using these models you needed to measure from center atom to center atom and not the length of the plastic bond. At first sight this seems silly, since the length of the bond would seem to be the length of the piece of plastic that represents the bond! However, there is a good reason for measuring atom center to atom center. You have not been told this explicitly, it is not in your lab packet notes and you probably can't Google the answer, and so this will seem to be an unfair question, but this question is not worth a lot of points, so try to give a very BRIEF explanation for why this is based on what you know about the positions of electrons in space and the position of nuclei (think about VSEPR) correcT 14
