The interhalogen compound BrF3 is a volatile, straw-colored liquid. The compound exhibits appreciable electrical conductivity because of autoionization (“solv” refers to BrF3 as the solvent): 2 BrF31l2 ∆ BrF2 +1solv2 + BrF4- 1solv2 (a) What are the molecular structures of the BrF2+ and BrF4- ions?

A paper published in the research Journal Science in 2007 (S. Vallina and R. Simo, Science, Vol. 315, p. 506, January 26, 2007) reported studies of dimethylsulfide (DMS), an important green-house gas that is released by marine phytoplankton. This gas represents the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur and a major precursor of hygroscopic (i.e., cloud-forming) particles in clean air over the remote oceans, thereby acting to reduce the amount of solar radiation that crosses the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ocean. (a) Sketch the Lewis structure of dimethylsulfide, CH3SCH3, and list the bond angles in the molecule. (b) Use electronegativities to decide where the positive and negative charges lie in the molecule. Is the molecule polar? (c) The mean seawater concentration of DMS in the ocean in the region between 15 north latitude and 15 south latitude is 2.7 nM (nanomolar). How many molecules of DMS are present in 1.0 m3 of seawater?
Aluminum metal is produced by heating aluminumoxide, Al2O3(s), and other substances to almost1000 °C until the mixture melts. Molten aluminumoxide is an excellent conductor. An electric currentpassed through liquid aluminum oxide can providethe electrons needed to convert the aluminumions to neutral metal atoms.

Analyze the given problem and show your complete and detailed solution. The radius of the oxygen anion (O“) at 140 pm (larger than the neutral atom, 66 pm). On the other hand, the magnesium atom loses 95 ppm from its 160 ppm radius when it loses two valence electrons, forming the magnesium ion. If these two ions are at equilibrium separation distance, find the value of r in pm.
Sodium hydride, NaH, is available commercially as a gray-white powder. It melts at 800°C with decomposition. It reacts explosively with water and ignites spontaneously upon standing in moist air. Q) Write a Lewis structure for the hydride ion and for sodium hydride. Is your Lewis structure consistent with the fact that this compound is a high-melting solid? Explain.

Which of the following statements is/are correct? l. Water is good at dissolving ions and polar molecules, but poor at dissolving nonpolar molecules. ll. A polar molecule is one that is uncharged, but has an asymmetric internal distribution of charge, leading to partially positive and partially negative regions. lll. Water interacts differently with charged and polar substances than with nonpolar substances because of the polarity of its own molecules. lV. Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on the hydrogen, a partial, and negative charge on the oxygen.
