Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Draw resonance structures of
Concept introduction:
Nitrogen forms various types of oxides on reaction with oxygen. Some of the common oxides are
Resonance structures: when a single Lewis structure does not adequately represent a substance, the true structure is intermediate between two or more structures which are called resonance structures and these structures are created by moving electrons, not atoms.
Bond length is the distance between the nuclei in a bond and it is related to the sum of the covalent radii at the bonded atoms.
Bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order.
(b)
Interpretation: The entropy change and equlibrium constant for the decomposition

- Write all resonance structures of chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, a molecule with the same cyclic structure as benzene. In all structures, keep the CCl bond as a single bond. Which resonance structures are the most important?arrow_forwardDraw resonance structures for the SO2 molecule, and determine the formal charges on the S and O atoms. Are the SO bonds polar, and is the molecule as a whole polar? If so, what is the direction of the net dipole in SO2? Is your prediction confirmed by the electrostatic potential surface? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardBond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X(g) is 525 kJ/mol. The lattice energy of AX(s) is 100 kJ/mol. f If you predicted that no ionic compound would form from the reaction in Part e, what minimum amount of AX(s) lattice energy might lead to compound formation?arrow_forward
- In which of the following molecules does the sulfur have an expanded octet? For those that do, write the Lewis structure. (a) SO2 (b) SF4 (c) SO2Cl2 (d) SF6arrow_forwardNitrosyl azide, N4O, is a pale yellow solid first synthesized in 1993. Write the Lewis structure for nitrosyl azide.arrow_forwardOn the basis of your knowledge of bonding in liquids and solids, which of the following has the lowest melting temperature? NaCl, Na, Cl2, SiO2arrow_forward
- Define the term lattice energy. Why, energetically, do ionic compounds form? Fig. 3-8 illustrates the energy changes involved in the formation of MgO(s) and NaF(s). Why is the lattice energy of MgO(s) so different from that of NaF(s)? The magnesium oxide is composed of Mg2+ and O2 ions. Energetically, why does Mg2+O2 form and not Mg+O? Why doesnt Mg3+O3 form?arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds or ions exhibit resonance? a. O3 b. CNO c. Asl3 d. CO32 e. AsF3arrow_forwardDinitrogen monoxide, N2O, can decompose to nitrogen and oxygen gas: 2 N2O(g) 2 N2(g) + O2(g) Use bond dissociation enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction.arrow_forward
