Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The greater contribution of the structure has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The outer most shell of the element is called as valence shell. The electrons present in the outer shell are called valence electron.
For example:
Nitrogen element has seven electrons and it has two shells, the second shell is the valence shell and it has five electrons in the valence shell. The five electrons are called as valence electrons.
The number of valence electron of carbon is four, number of valence electron of oxygen is six, number of valence electron of nitrogen is five and the number of valence electron of hydrogen is one.
Resonance: The delocalization of electrons which is characterized as several structural changes.

B) Draw the Lewis Structure and for each bond in the molecule, indicate if the bond is polar or non-polar. Use the +-> notation to show the direction of polarity (arrow pointing to 6-) for all polar bonds. For non- polar bonds, put NP in a small circle next to that bond.

- 3. Carbon atoms will bond with each other to form a chain, often with the peripheral atoms being hydrogen. These compounds, hydrocarbons, are organic compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen. However, when hydrogen atoms are substituted with other elements, such as fluorine, this changes the properties of the molecule. Methylfluoride (CH3F), a substituted hydrocarbon, is used in semiconductor processing. Figure 1 depicts an incorrect Lewis structure for CH3F. (QUestion shown in photo) Which reason best explains why this structure is incorrect? a) Hydrogen lacks an octet. b) Too few electrons are used. c) Carbon cannot exceed an octet. d) Fluorine atom has too many electrons.arrow_forwardAnswer the questions in the table below about the shape of the fluoroform (CHF3) molecule.
