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.
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?
These are NOTlegitimate Lewisstructures (and aremissing formalcharges). Show (as inthe example) how apair of electrons canbe moved to make theLewis structurelegitimate.
Draw resonance structures for each of these ions: NSO− and SNO−. (The atoms are bonded in the order given in each case, that is, S is the central atom in NSO−.) Use formal charges to determine which ion is likely to be more stable. Explain why the two ions cannot be considered resonance structures of each other.
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.
Several Lewis structures can be written for perbromate ion, , the central Br with all single Br—O bonds, or with one, two, or three Br=O double bonds. Draw the Lewis structures of these possible resonance structures, and use formal charges to predict which makes the greatest contribution to the resonance hybrid.
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.
Three known isomers exist of N2CO, with the atoms in these sequences: NOCN; ONNC; and ONCN. Write resonance structures for each isomer and use formal charge to predict which isomer is the most stable.
Assign formal charges to all atoms in the following Lewis diagrams. (a) SO42 (b) S2O32 (c) SbF3 (d) SCN
