Question

You learned early in the course that valence electrons were key to the physica properties of atoms. This is true for chemical species as well. Lewis/VSEPR diagrams inform chemists of the overall shape of a molecule and the charge distribution (8t,8) in 3D space. These are key to understanding a chemical species physical properties Which of the following statement(s) about the knowledge you gained from Lewis/VSEPR diagrams is/are true? There may be more than one true statements select all true statements for full marks. Molecules with tetrahedral electronic geometries are always non-polar as the bond dipoles will be equally distributed in 3D space. Looking at the bond polarities in a Lewis diagram allows one to determine the species Molecules with a more overall "linear" shape should be able to interact more O direction but not magnitude (strength) of molecular polarity for a chemical effectively with each other. Looking at the position of functional groups along a chain of carbon atoms may be important in determining overall molecular polarity. Significant bond polarities in a Lewis/VSEPR diagram are usually observed in the region of functional groups.

Explanation / Answer

vsepr says-

looking the bond polarities in a lewis diagram allos one to determine the direction but not magnitude of molecular polarity for a chemical species.
