1. Draw an accurate Lewis structure for the following molecules,
including all nonbonded electron pairs, and provide the bond angle around
all carbon atoms.
| a. formaldehyde (HCHO): | ![]() |
| b. hydrogen sulfide: | ![]() |
| c. acetonitrile (CH3CN) | ![]() |
2. In which molecule is the carbon-carbon bond length the longest:
ethane (CH3CH3), acetylene (HC CH), or ethylene (H2C=CH2)? _________ethane__________
Which of the above molecules has the greatest number of pi electrons? __acetylene__
3. Indicate the hybridization (sp3, sp2, or sp) of every atom (except hydrogen) in each structure in question 1. Use an arrow pointing to each atom to make your assignments, for example: [omitted]
