14. For each compound, draw the Lewis structure, determine the geometry using VSEPR theory, determine whether the molecule is polar a. COF2 (carbon is the central atom) b. S2Cl2 (ClSSCl) c. SF4

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
