Chapter 7, Problem 7.30PAE

7.30 The bond in HF is said to be polar, with the hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge. For this to be true, the hydrogen atom must have less than one electron around it. Yet the Lewis dot structure of HF attributes two electrons to hydrogen. Draw a picture of the electron density distribution for HF and use it to describe how the hydrogen atom can carry a partial positive charge. How can these two models of the HF bond (the electron density and the Lewis structure) seem so different and yet describe the same thing?

Methyl isocyanate, , is an intermediate in the manufacture of many pesticides. It received notoriety in1984 when a leak from a manufacturing plant resulted in thedeath of more than 2000 people in Bhopal, India. What are thehybridizations of the N atom and the two C atoms in methyl iso-cyanate? Sketch the molecular shape
A chemical reaction produces formaldehyde, with a chemical formula of CH2O. Carbon is in Group 4A, oxygen is in Group 6A, and hydrogen is in Group 1A on the periodic table. In one to two sentences, describe the bonds in a molecule of formaldehyde in terms of valence electrons.
Bond polarities play an important role in determining the structure of proteins. Using the electronegativity values as shown, arrange the following covalent bonds—all commonly found in amino acids—in orderof increasing polarity. Then designate the positive and negative atoms using the symbols δ+ and δ–: C–H, C–N, C–O, N–H, O–H, S–H
