Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The species responsible for the electrostatic potential map is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrostatic potential map represents electron clouds in a molecule in various colors that indicate its relative charge. Red color indicates the buildup of a negative charge, whereas the blue color indicates a buildup of a positive charge. Colors in between red and blue, in the spectrum, indicate a more neutral charge. Two equal resonance contributors for a molecule suggest equal distribution of electron density. For a given molecule, multiple resonance structures are possible which involves an atom with a lone pair of electron adjacent to the multiple bond. A carbon bearing a negative formal charge has three bond pairs and one lone pair.

- Strictly follow the instructions. Create a mnemonic on how to properly distinguish the types of chemical bondsarrow_forwardIt is impossible to draw a legitimate Lewis structure of a neutral NH4 molecule. Hypothetically,how many valence electrons would such a neutral NH4 molecule have ifit could exist? a. The +1 cation, NH4+ , does exist. How many valence electrons does one NH4+ ion have? b. Draw the Lewis structure for NH4+arrow_forwardConsider the incomplete orbital representation of O2 , below right. a. Identify which lobes are hybrid orbitals (identify the type) and which lobes arep orbitals. b. Use dotted lines to show any bonds. c. Use up or down arrows to show electron occupation of each hybrid orbital or bond.arrow_forward

And what these σ and π bonds mean?arrow_forwardWhat is the nam of this moleculearrow_forwardIndicate the polar part(s) of the molecule by indicating δ+ and δ- in the appropriate locations and indicate the direction of the dipole momentarrow_forward
- PLEASE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT, AND NOTHING IS HELPING. STEPS LEADING TO THE CORRECT ANSWER WOULD BE HELPFUL! BOND LINE DRAWINGS PLEASEarrow_forwardWhat happens to the bond angle (column 4) as the # of lone pairs (column 2) increases? Based on your answer above, do lone pairs or bonds take up more space?arrow_forwardGive a clear handwritten answer with explanation..give the detailed answer of lone pairs and geometry...arrow_forward
- consider the molecule belowarrow_forwardWhat does this sentence mean. Please explain. A lone pair of electrons is capable of occupying more space on the central atom than a bond pair. Hence, it will cause more repulsion as compared to bond pair.arrow_forwardI got wrong for draw the Lewis and how ?arrow_forward
