Problem 9.4 the molecule shown here is difluoromethane (ch2f2), which is used as a refrigerant called r-32. a carbon is single bonded left and right, angled above, to f, and below, angled in and out of the page , to h. part a based on the structure, how many electron domains surround the c atom in this molecule? express your answer as an integer.

Respuesta :

As described, the structural formula with molecular geometry of the compound is drawn in the first attached picture. By definition, electron domain is simply the number of electron lone pairs surrounding the elements of the substance. So, we draw the Lewis structure as shown in the second picture. There are 3 lone pairs on each F atom. Therefore, there are a total of 6 electron domains.
