Textbook Question
Chapter 1.4, Problem 11P
An atom with a formal charge does not necessarily have more or less electron density than the atoms in the molecule without formal charges. We can see this by examining the potential maps for H2O, H3O+, and HO− on page 12.
- a. Which atom bears the formal negative charge in the hydroxide ion?
- b. Which atom has the greater electron density in the hydroxide ion?
- c. Which atom bears the formal positive charge in the hydronium ion?
- d. Which atom has the least electron density in the hydronium ion?

Why don't we draw double bonds between the Be atom and the Cl atoms in BeCl2?
That would give positive formal charges to the chlorine atoms and a negative formal charge to the beryllium atom.
There aren't enough electrons.
That would result in more than eight electrons around beryllium.
That would result in more than eight electrons around each chlorine atom.
That would result in the formal charges not adding up to zero.

Thank you.arrow_forwardThe curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions.Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.arrow_forward
