When cyanide ion, CN, reacts with hydrogen peroxide an oxygen atom is transferred to the ion to form either cyanate lon (OCN") or fulminate ion (CNO"). Cyanate ion is indefinitely stable at room temperature, while fulminate lon forms shock-sensitive (explosivelI) lonic compounds. Analyze the bonding in each ion (i.e. resonance structures) and utilize this to explain the difference in stability. 3.

Consider the following flat drawing of methane (CH4) . a. What is HCH bond angle implied by this drawing if you assume it is flat? b. Are the electron domains of this flat CH4 spread out as much as possible? c. Use model materials to make a model of CH4 (methane). If you assembled it correctly, thefour bonds (bonding electron domains) of your model will be 109.5° apart. d. In which representation, the drawing above or the model in your hand (circle one) are theH’s of CH4 more spread out around the central carbon? e. Confirm that your model looks like the following drawing. The wedgebond represents a bond coming out of the page, and the dash bondrepresents a bond going into the page f. You will often see methane drawn as if it were flat (like on the previous page). Why is thismisleading, and what is left to the viewer’s imagination when looking at such a drawing?
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.
Despite the larger electronegativity difference between the bond atoms, BeCl2(a) has no dipole moment whereas SCl2(g) does possess one. Account for this difference in polarity. The answer should labelling of: Lewis structure, AXE notation, molecular and electron geometry, partial charge, dipole moment, and explanation.
Im taking organic chemistry and in class we have to determine whether the moelcules are stable, unstable or impossible from looking at the lewis structure diagrams What steps do i take to determine their stability?
Explain below ? The resonance hybrid is more stable than any resonance structurebecause it delocalizes electron density over a larger volume.
