General Chemistry: Atoms First
- If an element is bonded to 4 other atoms and has a formal charge of +1, what group must the element be in? I know that group 3A atoms are elctron deficient, and that period 3 elements and below, except for group 3A elements like Aluminum, can expand their octet because of their available d-orbital, which may not be relevant to this problem. I don't understand this question, or why the answer would be 5A. Is it because 5A have odd valence electrons, and can form free radicals, like NO?arrow_forward(a) Triazine, C3 H3 N3, is like benzene except that in triazineevery other C¬H group is replaced by a nitrogen atom. Draw the Lewis structure(s) for the triazine molecule. (b) Estimatethe carbon–nitrogen bond distances in the ring.arrow_forwardMothballs are composed of naphthalene, C10H8, a moleculethat consists of two six-membered rings of carbonfused along an edge, as shown in this incomplete Lewisstructure:(a) Draw all of the resonance structures of naphthalene.How many are there? (b) Do you expect the C¬C bondlengths in the molecule to be similar to those of C¬Csingle bonds, C“C double bonds, or intermediate betweenC¬C single and C“C double bonds? (c) Not allof the C¬C bond lengths in naphthalene are equivalent.Based on your resonance structures, how many C¬Cbonds in the molecule do you expect to be shorter thanthe others?arrow_forward
- A benzene molecule can be modeled as six carbon atoms arrangedin a regular hexagon in a plane. At each carbon atom, one of threeradicals NH2, COOH, or OH can be attached. How many suchcompounds are possible? (Make no distinction between single anddouble bonds between the atoms.)arrow_forwardA benzene molecule can be modeled as six carbon atoms arrangedin a regular hexagon in a plane. At each carbon atom, one of threeradicals NH2, COOH, or OH can be attached. How many suchcompoundsare possible?arrow_forwardTrue or false: (a) The C¬C bonds in benzene are all the samelength and correspond to typical single C¬C bond lengths.(b) The C¬C bond in acetylene, HCCH, is longer than theaverage C¬C bond length in benzene.arrow_forward
- Defi ne bond dissociation energy and describe its relationship to bond strength.arrow_forwardThe wavelength at which the O2 molecule most stronglyabsorbs light is approximately 145 nm. (a) In which regionof the electromagnetic spectrum does this light fall?(b) Would a photon whose wavelength is 145 nm haveenough energy to photodissociate O2 whose bond energy is495 kJ/mol? Would it have enough energy to photoionize O2?arrow_forwardThe cyanate ion is an anion consisting of one oxygen atom, one carbon atom, and onenitrogen atom, [OCN], in that order. a) Write three (3) resonance contributing structures for the cyanate ion. Show formalcharges.b) Based on your contributing structures, predict the O-C-N bond angle.arrow_forward
