Draw the Lewis structures for each of the following ions or molecules. For each, give (i) the
molecular shape, (ii) the electron pair geometry at the central atom, and (iii) the hybridization of the central
atom.
(a) ClF4+
(b) SCl2
(c) SO2Cl2
(d) IO2F
(e) ICl3

Here is my work...

(a) The lewis structure would look like http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/gutow/VSEPR_TUTORIAL/shtml%20version/ClF4(plus1).gif and this will give it a trigonal bipyramidal shape on the electron pair geometry with a

(b) Looks like  Cl - S - Cl and will have 4 unpaired electrons on the S atom, not sure what geometry this will assume.

(c) Looks like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Methanesulfonyl_Chloride_Structure.png/130px-Methanesulfonyl_Chloride_Structure.png with a "Cl" attached to the absent bond, right? Not sure of geometry or hybrid.

(d) and (e) I am unsure about.


I am having trouble with questions of this nature, and I'm confused about how to answer the hybridization of the central atom question based on the information we're suppose to flesh out. Any help is more then appreciated as always.
