Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular formula for CL-20 and
Concept introduction:
Molecular formula shows that the actual number of atoms of each element that are present in a molecule of the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is whether delocalized or not has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The unshared electrons of an atom that does not involve in bonding are called lone pair.
Steps to determine the lone of pair of electrons,
- Appropriate valence electron has to be known.
- The actual number of valence electrons exhibited by the atom has to be known.
- Count the number of bonds and assign the number of lone pair.
A formal charge (FC) is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, irrespective of relative electronegativity by thinking that electrons in all
