Chapter 8, Problem 8.9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon-selenium bond length in H3CSeCH3 is to be estimated.

Concept introduction:

In a molecule, the average distance between two bonded atoms is commonly known as bond length. It determines the strength of covalent bond in a molecule and is found to be inversely proportional to the bond order.

Chloral, Cl3C—CH=O, reacts with water to form the sedative and hypnotic agent chloral hydrate, Cl3C—CH(OH)2. Draw Lewis structures for these substances, and describe the change in molecular shape, if any, that occurs around each of the carbon atoms during the reaction.
Hydrogen cyanide (and organic nitriles, which contain the cyano group) can be catalytically reduced with hydrogen to form amines. Use Lewis structures and bond energies to determine AH for the reaction below. (See Table 9.2 for bond energies.) kJ HCN(g) + 2 H2(g) → CH3NH2(g)
If a C-O bond length is 1.66 pm and a C=O bond length is 1.52 pm, how long would the carbon oxygen bonds in the carbonate ion be?
