Chemistry

For triatomic molecules (i.e., molecules that contain threeatoms) such as difluorine monoxide, F2O, there are only twopossible molecular geometries, linear or bent.

a. Draw the Lewis structure for F2O (O is the central atom), andpredict the molecular geometry using the VSEPR model.

b. Could infrared spectroscopy be used to confirm the moleculargeometry that is predicted using the VSEPR model? That is, couldthe infrared spectrum for F2O be used to determine whether themolecule is linear or bent? Explain your reasoning.
