Concept introduction:
The stability of a molecule or an ion relative to the separated atoms depends on the number of electrons in its bonding and antibonding MOs. More the number of electrons in the bonding MO, more the stability. On the other hand, presence of electron(s) in the antibonding orbital destabilizes the molecule (or ion).
Completely removing an atom’s electron to ionize it requires supplying energy to the electron. The amount of energy needed for this is higher than that needed for promoting an electron to a higher energy orbital of the molecule or atom.

- The molecule shown here has quite a large dipole, as indicated in its electrostatic potential map. Explain why.Hint: Consider various resonance structures.arrow_forwardSolve correctly please, need all 4 subparts ans.arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Write the resonance structure that would result from pushing the electrons as indicated by the curved arrow.Zarrow_forward
- Problem What amount (mol) of each ion is in each solution?(a) 5.0 mol of ammonium sulfate dissolved in water(b) 78.5 g of cesium bromide dissolved in water(c) 7.42×1022 formula units of copper(II) nitrate dissolved in water(d) 35 mL of 0.84 M zinc chloridePlan We write an equation that shows 1 mol of compound dissociating into ions. (a) We multiply the number of moles of ions by 5.0. (b) We first convert grams to moles. (c) We first convert formula units to moles. (d) We first convert molarity and volume to moles.arrow_forwardbased on the photo, draw the correct curved arrow(s) that generate(s) the resonance structure:arrow_forwardSolve correctly please, all subparts needarrow_forward
