Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The Lewis model cannot predict all the properties of a molecule or ion.

Explanation of Solution

Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons. According to this theory, atoms bonded together to attain stability by completing their octet. This theory also known as Octet theory, which had certain limitations; this theory failed to explain the molecules in which the central atom has either less or more than eight electrons in its valence shell after electron sharing, but the molecules are still quite stable like BF5, AlCl3 . It also failed to explain large number of covalent molecules such as PF5, IF7 .

Thus, the Lewis model cannot predict all the properties of a molecule or ion and required other bonding theories which can describe bonding and magnetism in certain species.

Conclusion

Hence, the Lewis model cannot predict all the properties of a molecule or ion and required other bonding theories which can describe bonding and magnetism in certain species.

    G. N. Lewis developed a model for chemical bonding that you have learned in this chapter. His theory was extremely successful and is used today at all levels of chemistry, from the introductory class to the research laboratory. Why was Lewis theory so successful?
    Bond 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.
