LAB REPORT ASSISTANT
This document is not meant to be a subsOtute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s quesOons, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ wriOng of lab reports by providing this informaOon in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.
OBSERVATIONS
Part A: PRACTICE EXAMPLES
Count Valence e-
Formula
Electron Geometry
Molecular Geometry
1 N = 5
3 H = 3
8 / 2 = 4 pair
NH3
Tetrahedral
Trigonal pyramidal
H2O
CBr4
SO3 This is not a
polyatomic ion …
No charge!!!
PI3
CH3Cl Carbon is the central atom
NO 1-
3
CO 2-
3
NH +1
4
CH4
SO2
For the following compounds, there is more than 1 central atom. Count the total number of valence electrons, divide by 2. Draw the Lewis Structures: share the electron pairs around each atom to complete the bonding. Recall that double and triple bonds may be necessary. Determine the structure on each of the central atoms.
Part B: PRACTICE EXAMPLES
Count Valence E
Formula
Structure
Molecular Geometry
1 C = 4
3 H = 3
1 O = 6
1 H = 1
14 e/2 =7 pair
CH3OH
electron
geometry
C – tetrahedral
O – tetrahedral
C = tetrahedral
O = bent
2 bonded
2 non bonded
CH3NH2
CH2CH2
Looks like
H2C – CH2
Hint ; double bond
CH3OCH3
Looks like
H3C – O – CH3
