Chapter 7, Problem 7.100PAE

7.104 Hydrogen azide, HN 3 , is a liquid that explodes violently when subjected to shock. In the HN 3 molecule, one nitrogen—nitrogen bond length has been measured at 112 pm and the other at 124 pm. Draw a Lewis structure that accounts for these observations. Explain how your structure reflects these experimental facts.

Explain the concept of Bond Length and Bond Strength ?
A compound is being tested for use as a rocket propellant. The analysis showed that this compound contained 18.54% F, 34.61% Cl, and 46.85% O.a. Suppose the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, describing the Lewis structure for this moleculeb. Use the VSEPR theory to predict the structure of this moleculec. List the three anions of the elements according to their increment in the radius of the ion. Ar F = 19, Cl = 35,5, O= 16
In developing the concept of electronegativity, Pauling used the term excess bond energy for the difference between the actual bond energy of X¬Y and the average bond energies of X¬X and Y¬Y (see text discussion for the case of HF). Based on the values as shown, which of the following substances contains bonds with no excess bond energy?(a) PH3 (b) CS2 (c) BrCl (d) BH3 (e) Se8
