Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The curved arrows that show the movement of electrons in step [1] are to be added.

Concept introduction: In the representation of a chemical reaction, the movement of electrons is shown by the curved arrows. This method shows the movement of electrons of electrons in resonance structures as well.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The curved arrows that helps in the identification of structure X in the given reaction are to be drawn and the conversion of structure X into phenol and HCl is to be shown in step [3].

Concept introduction: In the representation of a chemical reaction, the movement of electrons is shown by the curved arrows. This method shows the movement of electrons of electrons in resonance structures as well.

1.- Answer the following questions: (a) What is electronegativity? (b) How is electronegativity measured numerically? Name the scale used and the range of values in the scale.  (c) Explain how electronegativity differences between atoms result in nonpolar covalent bonds and polar covalent bonds. Make sure you explain the difference between nonpolar covalent and polar covalent bonds as it relates to  the electronegativity of the participating atoms.
Chemistry (a) Write three more resonance structures for each of compounds 1 and 2. (b) In each of compounds 1 and 2, determine which resonance structure contributes the most and explain your answer. (c) Are the 3/4 structures resonance structures or different compounds? Same question for 5/6 structures. Explain your answers.
answer true or flase. don't need an explanation or solution (a) A covalent bond is formed between two atoms whose difference in electronegativity is less than 1.9. (b) If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is zero (they have identical electronegativ- ities), then the two atoms will not form a covalent bond. (c) A covalent bond formed by sharing two electrons is called a double bond. (d) In the hydrogen molecule (H2), the shared pair of electrons completes the valence shell of each hydrogen. (e) In the molecule CH4 , each hydrogen has an electron configuration like that of helium and carbon has an electron configuration like that of neon. (f) In a polar covalent bond, the more electronegative atom has a partial negative charge (­2) and the less electronegative atom has a partial positive charge (­1). (g) These bonds are arranged in order of increasing polarity CiH , NiH , OiH. (h) These bonds are arranged in order of increasing polarity HiF , HiCl , HiBr. ( i) A…
