Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:Whether there is any box in the table in model 5 having N atom with zero bonds and 3 lone pairs.
Concept introduction:Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom.
(b)
Interpretation: Whether there is any box in the table in model 5 having O atom with 3 bonds and zero lone pairs.
Concept introduction: Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom.
(c)
Interpretation: The reasons for the statement being true should be explained.
Concept introduction: Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom. The occurrence of formal charges can be determined by counting the number of bonds & lone pair.

Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry
- a model of each molecule shown above: Is the molecule in the left box the same moleculeas the molecule in the right box? Use your models to answer the question, and recall that...arrow_forwardAdd the unshared (lone) electron pairs to the structure in the drawing window below.arrow_forwardA. For the molecule circled, draw the potential energy using this diagram. B. Draw the other three Newman projections based on the drawing at the bottom leftarrow_forward
- Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds). Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default.arrow_forwardPlease show all steps and I will upvote if correct. According to the Walsh diagram, why is NH3 pyramidal while BH3 is planar? Which molecule should have the smallest bond angle ~ NH3, PH3, or AsH3? Think of electronegativity differences and the Walsh diagrams of these molecules.arrow_forwardVISUAL SKILLS The isomers of retinal have the same number of atoms and bonds but differ in thespatial arrangement at one carbon-carbon double bond (C“C). In each isomer, circle that C“C. Lookingat the atoms around that bond, to what atoms do the terms cis (same side) and trans (opposite side) refer?arrow_forward
