Draw a Lewis structure and indicate the hybridization for each molecule that contains more than one interior atom. Draw the Lewi
s structure for C2H2 (whose skeletal structure is HCCH). Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons.

Answer:
See figure 1
Explanation:
In this question, we have to remember that each <u>carbon has 4 electrons</u> and each <u>hydrogen has 1 electron</u>. Additionally, the structure proposed have to have <u>8 electrons for each atom</u> <u>(except hydrogen)</u>. With this in mind, we need to have a <u>double bond</u> between the carbons, because in this arrangement each carbon would have 8 electrons <u>(octet rule)</u>.

Answer:
Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -
The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.
This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.
And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.
