In what ways are they different?arrow_forwardhow would I identify which of these Lewis structures (A, B, C or D) is correct for PO33- and what is the VSEPR shape of the compound?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_forwardWrite the Lewis structures for the following species, and indicate whether each is an odd-electron species, an electron-deficient species, or an expanded valence shell species. There is only one central atom in each. (a) XeF2 (b) BeCl2 (c) XeO2F4 (both O and F are terminal atoms)arrow_forwardIf the molecule XY, which has an enthalpy of ionization of 1,500 kJ/mol as per the reaction below, can be ionized: HY + hν à HY+ + e- How much energy would be required and to which kind of light this energy correspond. Should we be concerned about this reaction happening 100 ft from the surface of the earth? Explain why or why not..arrow_forward
- Draw the Lewis structures of cyanate (OCN-) and fulminate (CNO-) ions and calculate their formal charges. Discuss their stability by giving resonance structures.arrow_forwardWrite the va lence bond wavefunction of a P2 molecule. Why is P4 a stable form of molecular phosphorus?arrow_forwardIn developing a Lewis structure for NO +, the nitroxonium ion, how many valence electrons must you account for?arrow_forward
