Millikan determined the charge on the electron by studying the static
charges on oil drops falling in an electric field. A student carried out this experiment
using several oil drops for her measurements and calculated the charges on the drops.
She obtained the following data:
Droplet Calculated Charge(C)
A 1.60 ✕10-19
B 3.15 ✕10-19
C 4.81 ✕10-19
D 6.31 ✕10-19

A. What is the significance of the fact that the droplets carried different
charges?

B. What conclusion can the student draw from these data regarding the charge of
the electron?

C. What value (and to how many significant figures) should she report for the
electronic charge?

Question 2: Use VSEPR theory to predict the molecular shape and the polarity of
SF2. Explain your answer.

Question 3: Draw a Lewis structure for PCl4 . Use VSEPR theory to predict the
molecular shape of this ion.?
