This Lewis structure for SF5+ is drawn incorrectly. What error was made when determining the number of valence electrons?
Acetic acid has the structure CH3CO(OH), in which the OH group is bonded to a C atom. The two carbonoxygen bonds have different lengths. When an acetic acid molecule loses the H from the OH group to form the acetate ion, the two carbonoxygen bonds become equal in length. Explain.

The molecular structure shown is of one form of glucose, C6H12O6 Glucose can be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water according to the equation C6H12O6(S) + 6 O2(g)6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) (a) Using the method described in Section 6-6a for estimating enthalpy changes from bond energies, estimate rH for the oxidation of this form of glucose. Make a list of all bonds broken and all bonds formed in this process. (b) Compare your result with the experimental value of 2816 kJ/mol for combustion of glucose. Why might there be a difference between this value and the one you calculated in part (a)?
Light of appropriate wavelength can break chemical bonds. Light having λ < 240 nm can dissociate gaseous O2. It requires light with λ < 819 nm to dissociate gaseous H2O2 to 2 OH. Assume that all of the photon energy is used solely for these dissociations. (a) Calculate the energy required to dissociate (i) O2 and (ii) H2O2. (b) Consider the results of part (a). How well do they correlate with the Lewis structures of O2 and H2O2? Explain your answer.
Using the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy of combustion of gaseous methane, CH4, to give water vapor and carbon dioxide gas.
Hydrogenation reactions, which involve the addition of H2 to a molecule, are widely used in industry to transform one compound into another. For example, 1-butene (C4H8) is converted to butane (C4H10) by addition of H2. Use the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8 to estimate the enthalpy change for this hydrogenation reaction.
Best Lewis Formula and Molecular Geometry A student writes the Lewis electron-dot formula for the carbonate anion, CO32, as a Does this Lewis formula obey the octet rule? Explain. What are the formal charges on the atoms? Try describing the bonding for this formula in valence bond terms. Do you have any difficulty doing this? b Does this Lewis formula give a reasonable description of the electron structure, or is there a better one? If there is a better Lewis formula, write it down and explain why it is better. c The same student writes the following resonance description for CO2: Is there something wrong with this description? (What would you predict as the geometries of these formulas?) d Is one or the other formula a better description? Could a value for the dipole moment help you decide? e Can you write a Lewis formula that gives an even better description of CO2? Explain your answer.
A common trait of simple organic compounds is to have Lewis structures where all atoms have a formal charge of zero. Consider the following incomplete Lewis structure for an organic compound called methyl cyanoacrylate, the main ingredient in Super Glue. Draw a complete Lewis structure for methyl cyanoacrylate in which all atoms have a formal charge of zero.
