What is meant by a chemical bond? Why do atoms form bonds with each other? Why do some elements exist as molecules in nature instead of as free atoms?
It is impossible to draw a legitimate Lewis structure of a neutral NH4 molecule. Hypothetically,how many valence electrons would such a neutral NH4 molecule have ifit could exist? a. The +1 cation, NH4+ , does exist. How many valence electrons does one NH4+ ion have? b. Draw the Lewis structure for NH4+
The percent ionic character of a bond can be approximated by the formula 16+3.52 , where is the magnitude of the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms (see Fig. 3.18). Calculate the percent ionic character of HF, HCl, HBr, HI, and CsF, and compare the results with those in Table 3.7.
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.
On the basis of the electronegativity values given in Fig. 12.3, indicate which is the more polar bond in each of the following pairs. msp;a.HForHClc.HBrorHClb.HClorHId.HIorHBr
Write Lewis structures for the following: (a) ClF3 (b) PCl5 (c) BF3 (d) PF6
These are NOTlegitimate Lewisstructures (and aremissing formalcharges). Show (as inthe example) how apair of electrons canbe moved to make theLewis structurelegitimate.
7.30 The bond in HF is said to be polar, with the hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge. For this to be true, the hydrogen atom must have less than one electron around it. Yet the Lewis dot structure of HF attributes two electrons to hydrogen. Draw a picture of the electron density distribution for HF and use it to describe how the hydrogen atom can carry a partial positive charge. How can these two models of the HF bond (the electron density and the Lewis structure) seem so different and yet describe the same thing?
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.
