P Block - Group 17For the molecule AX3, in which all the atoms are in Periodic Group VIIA or 17 (the Halogens):
1. Draw the correct Lewis Structure. If others are possible but less likely, draw them too and explain why the correct one is the selection.
2. What are the electron pair and molecular geometries?
a. Electron pair geometry:
b. Molecular geometry:
3. What is the predicted (ideal) bond angle about the central atom?
4. Is the molecule polar or nonpolar?
5. What is the orbital hybridization on the central atom?

Inorganic Chemistry
P Block - Group 17Create the Lewis structure of CF44 NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check-don't work ahead to solve the final structure.
Step 1.
Count valence electrons in the molecule or ion. Do this by adding the periodic group numbers for each atom in the structure and adjusting for charge. Enter
and Check.
Step 2.
Connect each pair of bonded atoms with a single bond by dragging bonds onto the molecule. Each bond decreases the number of available electrons
by 2. Check.

Inorganic Chemistry
P Block - Group 1781. (77 in the 3rd edition) Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the
reaction of methane with water according to the equation:
CH4(g) + H₂O(g) -> CO(g) + 3 H₂(g)
In a particular reaction, 25.5 L of methane gas (measured at a pressure of 732 torr and a
temperature of 25 °C) mixes with 22.8 L of water vapor (measured at a pressure of 702
torr and a temperature of 125 °C). The reaction produces 26.2 L of hydrogen gas at STP.
What is the percent yield of the reaction?
