- The bond lengths of ethane, ethene, and ethyne were determined, and a graph of the C-H bond length vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was made. Comment on the observed trend, additionally. How would this trend change if C-H bond energy vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was graphed? Which hydrocarbon has the strongest carbon-carbon bond?arrow_forward4. Write a bond-line formula for the following compounds. a) HOOCCHCHCHCHCH2CCCH2CH2CH2COOH , (both double bonds in this compound have trans geometry)arrow_forwardThe wavelength at which the O2 molecule most stronglyabsorbs light is approximately 145 nm. (a) In which regionof the electromagnetic spectrum does this light fall?(b) Would a photon whose wavelength is 145 nm haveenough energy to photodissociate O2 whose bond energy is495 kJ/mol? Would it have enough energy to photoionize O2?arrow_forward
- In the methoxide anion (CH3O-), is it possible for a double bond to exist between C and O, given that the negative chargeresides on O? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward.For anion NO2-, (a) predict the stereochemistry. Justify your prediction with VSEPR theory and by formal charge; (b) indicate the hybridization appropriate to the stereochemistry; (c) describe the bond character of N-O for the resonance structure.arrow_forwardBecause the structure of a tetrahedrom molecule uses 3 dimensions, a tetrahedron has a bond angle of 109.5 instead of the expected 90 degrees. True or False?arrow_forward
- The cations O2+ and N2+ are formed when molecules of O2 and N2 are subjected to intense, high-energy solar radiation in Earths upper atmosphere. Write the electron configuration for O2+. Predict its bond order and magnetic behavior.arrow_forwardHow would I draw all the important resonance structures for cyanate (NCO1-)?arrow_forwardCalculate the bond order of the C2- Is its dissociation energy greater or smaller than that of C2? Is its bond length greater or smaller than that of C2?arrow_forward
