Questions and Answers

What does the term 'molecular geometry' refer to?

  • The electronic structure of a molecule
  • The pure connectivity of atoms within a molecule
  • The occupation of a molecule's molecular orbitals
  • The spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds holding them together (correct)

    • Who were some of the early developers of theories of chemical structure?

  • August Kekulé, Archibald Scott Couper, and Aleksandr Butlerov (correct)
  • Louis Pasteur, Robert Boyle, and Antoine Lavoisier
  • Marie Curie, Dmitri Mendeleev, and Linus Pauling
  • John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, and Ernest Rutherford

    • What did the early theories of chemical structure state?

  • Chemical compounds are not a random cluster of atoms and functional groups, but rather had a definite order defined by the valency of the atoms composing the molecule (correct)
  • Chemical compounds are solely determined by the molecular orbitals
  • Chemical compounds have no definite order and are randomly composed of atoms and functional groups
  • Chemical compounds are formed randomly based on the valency of the atoms
