Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Consider the following molecules: SiH4, PH3, H2S. In each case, a central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 109.5? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardFormamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forwardIt is possible to write a simple Lewis structure for the SO42- ion, involving only single bonds, which follows the octet rule. However, Linus Pauling and others have suggested an alternative structure, involving double bonds, in which the sulfur atom is surrounded by six electron pairs. (a) Draw the two Lewis structures. (b) What geometries are predicted for the two structures? (c) What is the hybridization of sulfur in each case? (d) What are the formal charges of the atoms in the two structures?arrow_forward
- What is the resonance form that describes the distribution of electrons in SeO2 ?arrow_forwardA hypothetical molecule, X–Y, has a dipole moment of 1.14 D and a bond length of 155 pm. Calculate the percent ionic character of this molecule.arrow_forwardThere are three possible structures for PCl2F3 with phosphorus as the central atom. Draw them and discuss how measurements of dipole moments could help distinguish among them.arrow_forward
- How many double bonds are present in Yellow No. 6? (Include the S=O double bonds).arrow_forwardWhat is the electron-pair geometry around the central S atom in sulfuryl fluoride, SO2F2?arrow_forwardDetermine the number of valence electrons in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and then draw the corresponding Lewis structure (with minimized formal charges).arrow_forward
- Draw the Lewis structure of HClO₃ (with minimized formal charges) and then choose the appropriate pair of molecular geometries of the two central atoms. Your answer choice is independent of the orientation of your drawn structure.arrow_forwardDescribe the bonding in the nitrate ion, NO3-. Does this ion have delocalized p bonds?arrow_forwardHydrogen cyanide can be catalytically reduced with hydrogen to form methylamine. Use Lewis structures and bond energies to determine ΔH°rxn for HCN(g) + 2 H2(g) ⟶ CH3NH2(g)arrow_forward
