1. Draw the Lewis structure of the following molecule, CH 2CHCN.

Describe
the structure of the molecule.
2. Using VSEPR, determine the shape of a) SCN- b) NO2- c) XeF2 d) XeF4
3. Give the symmetry of each bond in H-CC-H and give the hybrid or
atomic wavefunctions that overlap to form each of the bonds. Where
appropriate use the x, y, or z designations with the wavefunctions. Then,
indicate whether the molecule is linear, planar or neither.
4. Discuss the hybridization of the carbons in allene, CH 2CCH2. In
particular, explain the relative orientations of the hydrogen atoms relative
to those on the opposite end of the molecule.

5. Identify the products and write a balanced equation for the reaction of
hydrogen with a) Chlorine b) sodium c) copper metal. Explain these
reactions in terms on electron transfer or acid-base chemistry.

order expected for each of the following diatomic species a)Li 2 b) Li2+ c)Li2. How many unpaired electrons are in each species? Identify if the species
are paramagnetic or diamagnetic. Which has the shortest bond length?
7. Draw a molecular orbital energy-level diagram and determine the bond
order expected for each of the following diatomic species a)F 2 b) F2+ c)F2- .
