- Write Lewis structures and predict whether each of the following is polar or nonpolar. (You can draw the structure and send on Canvas, or attach the file here, or you can also use the draw feature within Inspera in the panel above) a. HOCN (exists as HOOCN) b. COS c. SO2 d. H2CO (C is the central atom)arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure for the NSF molecule: the N and F atoms are both bonded to the S atom. What is the bonding pattern around the S atom? Select one: A. Two double bonds: N=S=F. B. A triple bond and a single bond: N≡S–F. C. Two single bonds: N–S–F. D. A double and a single bond: N=S–F.arrow_forwardA. The Lewis diagram for POCl3 is: The electron-pair geometry around the P atom in POCl3 is ______ There are _____ lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of POCl3 is ______ B. The Lewis diagram for BH2- is: The electron-pair geometry around the B atom in BH2- is ______ There are _____ lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of BH2- is _____ (c) The amount of acrylamide found in potato chips is 1.7 mg/kg.

- Consider an ionic compound, MX, composed of generic metal M and generic, gaseous halogen X. The enthalpy of formation of MX is Δ?∘f =−437 kJ/mol. The enthalpy of sublimation of M is Δ?sub =161 kJ/mol. The ionization energy of M is IE =467 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X is Δ?EA =−341 kJ/mol. The bond energy of X2 is BE =163 kJ/mol. Determine the lattice energy of MX.arrow_forwardAn unknown element M forms a chloride with the formula MCl3. This chloride compound was examined and found to have a trigonal pyramidal shape. Draw a Lewis structure for MCl3 that is consistent with this molecular geometry. Use your structure to propose an identity for the element M and explain how you have made your choice.arrow_forwardUse the Lewis model to determine the formula for the compound that forms from each pair of atoms.
