- Many monatomic ions are found in seawater, including the ions formed from the following list of elements. Write the Lewis symbols for the monatomic ions formed from the following elements: (a) Cl (b) Na (c) Mg (d) Ca (e) K (f) Br (g) Sr (h) Farrow_forwardA polyatomic ion is composed of C, N, and an unknown element X. The skeletal Lewis structure of this polyatomic ion is [XCN]. The ion X2 has an electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d104p6. What is element X? Knowing the identity of X, complete the Lewis structure of the polyatomic ion, including all important resonance structures.arrow_forwardFormamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same? Describe how the experimental determination of the HNH bond angle could be used to indicate which resonance form is more important.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardFor the following three Lewis structures, list whether they are correct or incorrect: alt-text for image above: The first image shows a proposed Lewis structure for Freon-13, CClF3, that has a central carbon singly bonded to a three chlorine atoms and a fluorine atom. Each chlorine and the fluorine have 3 lone pairs of electrons around them. The second image shows a proposed lewis structure for the nitrite ion, NO2-, as a central nitrogen atom between two oxygen atoms. The O atom on the left has three lone pairs of electrons and then a single bond between the N. The right O atom has two lone pairs of electrons and a double bond with the N atom. The N atom has a single lone pair of electrons in addition to the double and single bonds with oxygen atoms. The third image shows diazomethane, CH2N2, and the proposed Lewis structure has a carbon singly bonded to two H atoms, then doubly bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen is doubly bonded to the second nitrogen, and the second nitrogen has…arrow_forwardThe formation of an acid can be described as an anion accepting a proton. Ex: H* + NO2 → HNO2. Since the hydrogen has a +1 charge, it doesn't have any electrons to use to bond to the anion. Therefore, the bond that is created between the hydrogen and the anion comes from a pair of electrons from the anion. Use formal charges to determine the Lewis structure of HNO2 after the NO2 anion accepts the H*. A B ö-N=ö :ö-N=ö-H Which structure is correct? A Carrow_forward
