Using VSEPR theory!!
« on: January 17, 2008, 02:46:24 AM »
Hi, have some quick questions..

Firstly, how do draw the structure for HC5N using VSEPR or Lewis structural theories to support the reasoning..

Also.. how can i use VSEPR to determine boiling points.. A question asks "using VSEPR, describe the reason the boiling point is different in CCl4 compared with CCl3F.

Thanks a lot in advance!

You should know or guess a sequence of atoms to start VSEPR
(Guessing is possible since for above formula only one compound exists)

VSEPR tell us about geometry about certain atom and has nothing common with boiling points since boiling points depend on forces related to surface of molecule.
