Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Write the Lewis structures for CH2N2, including all resonance forms, and show formal charges.arrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al₂ O₃) is a widely used industrial abrasive(emery, corundum), for which the specific application depends onthe hardness of the crystal. What does this hardness imply about the magnitude of the lattice energy? Would you have predictedfrom the chemical formula that Al₂ O₃ is hard? Explain.arrow_forwardPhosgene, a substance used in poisonous gas warfare during World War I, is so named because it was first prepared by the action of sunlight on a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine gases. Its name comes from the Greek words phos (light) and genes (born of). Phosgene has the following elemental composition: 12.14% C, 16.17% O, and 71.69% Cl by mass. Its molar mass is 98.9 g/mol. (d) Using average bond enthalpies, estimate H for the formation of gaseous phosgene from CO(g) and Cl2(g).arrow_forward
- Write the Lewis structures of both isomers with the formula C2H7N.arrow_forwardHow many resonance structures can be drawn for the hydrogen tellurate ion (HTeO4–) in which the central tellurium atom bears a –1 formal charge and the oxygens bear formal charges of either zero or –1? Enter your answer as a whole number.arrow_forwardWhat is the formal charge on the central chlorine atom in the molecular ion [ClO4]- ? Assume that all of the Cl-O bonds are single bonds.arrow_forward
- How many non-bonding electrons are on the central atom in the optimized Lewis structure of PO4 3- in which the formula charges are minimized?arrow_forwardFor the molecule GaI3, give the lewis structure, the valence shell electron pairs, the bonding electron pairs, the nonbonding electron pairs, the VSEPR formula, bond angle, and the molecular geometry.arrow_forwardWrite a Lewis structure for HC2─ and assign any formal charges to the correct atom.arrow_forward
