Assessment Task 3: Chemistry Pamphlet Critique
Structure and Bonding Section:
1. Describe the errors within this section.
2. Show how you would correct these errors.
You may like to draw your own structures. In this case, please take and picture of your
structure and then insert this in this section.
The Lewis structure in Figure 2 does not show the carbon and hydrogen atom
symbols and lacks the illustration of the lone pairs.
Lewis Structure
In Figure 7, the corrections of Figure 2 are illustrated. Each of the atom symbols
constructing Carbaryl are shown, and each atom has a full octet, except for the
hydrogen atoms containing a duet. The lone pairs on the 2 oxygens and 1 nitrogen
are displayed.

Note:
Lewis structure of Carbaryl.
Molecular Geometry
Correct molecular geometry of Carbaryl with each central atoms geometric shape
labelled in the key illustrated in Figure 8.
