Explain why this Lewis structure for CO is not as valid as the Lewis structure you drew in theprevious question even though it has no “hot spots” of + or charge (formal charges).
The molecular ion S3N3 has the cyclic structure All SN bonds are equivalent. (a) Give six equivalent resonance hybrid Lewis diagrams for this molecular ion. (b) Compute the formal charges on all atoms in the molecular ion in each of the six Lewis diagrams. (c) Determine the charge on each atom in the polyatomic ion, assuming that the true distribution of electrons is the average of the six Lewis diagrams arrived at in parts (a) and (b). (d) An advanced calculation suggests that the actual charge resident on each N atom is 0.375 and on each S atom is +0.041 . Show that this result is consistent with the overall +1 charge on the molecular ion.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an example of an overall neutral molecule (netcharge=0) that hasnon-zero formal charges. Draw a Lewis structure of carbon monoxide (CO).
Based on the concept of formal charge, what is the central atom in (a) HCN (do not include H as a possibility)? b) NOCI (Cl is always a terminal atom)?
Two possible Lewis diagrams for sulfine (H2CSO) are (a) Compute the formal charges on all atoms. (b) Draw a Lewis diagram for which all the atoms in sulfine have formal charges of zero.
A stable triatomic molecule can be formed that contains one atom each of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine. Three bonding structures are possible, depending on which is the central atom: NSF, SNF, and SFN. (a) Write a Lewis diagram for each of these molecules, indicating the formal charge on each atom. (b) Often, the structure with the least separation of formal charge is the most stable. Is this statement consistent with the observed structure for this molecule—namely, NSF, which has a central sulfur atom? (c) Does consideration of the electronegativities of N, S, and F from Figure 3.18 help rationalize this observed structure? Explain.
Write the correct Lewis structure and assign a formal charge to each atom in fulminate ion, CNO.
The Lewis structure of acetone is Circling the carbonyl carbon, i.e., the carbon atom attached to oxygen, and its octet gives Circling the oxygen atom and its octet gives Thus, atoms share electrons in making bonds, and a pair of electrons may be included in the octet of two different atoms. When computing the formal charge on an atom, the number of electrons that belong to that atom is compared with the number of electrons the atom would have in the unbonded and neutral state. If the two numbers are the same, the formal charge on the atom is zero. In a Lewis structure both electrons in an unshared pair belong to the atom, and one of every pair of shared (bonding) electrons belongs to the atom.
The C=O double bond is called a “carbonyl bond.” Acetone and othercarbonyl compounds are introduced in some texts along with this structure a. Is this an important resonance structure of acetone? Explain. b. Does this structure convey any useful information about acetone? If so, what?
Chloromethane has the Lewis structure _______________________________ The carbon atom is sharing 4 electron pairs. In each shared pair the carbon atom “owns” 1 electron. The number of electrons that “belong” to carbon is ___. Carbon, being a Group ___ element would have 4 , outer shell electrons in the unbonded, neutral state. Therefore, the carbon atom in chloromethane has a formal charge of zero.
Given the bonds C N, C H, C Br, and S O, (a) which atom in each is the more electronegative? (b) which of these bonds is the most polar?
Define formal charge and explain how to calculate it. What is the purpose of the formal charge? Organic compounds are composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen but also may have oxygen, nitrogen, and/or halogens in the formula. Formal charge arguments work very well for organic compounds when drawing the best Lewis structure. How do C, H, N, O, and Cl satisfy the octet rule in organic compounds so as to have a formula charge of zero?
