Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The best arrangement for the carboxyl group with respect to its formal charge is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

For many molecules, it is impossible to explain all properties by a single Lewis structure. In such cases, more than one Lewis structures are drawn to explain the properties. Such structures of a compound are called resonating structures and the phenomenon is called resonance.

Due to their attraction towards electrons, ions and molecules acquire some charge which is called formal charge.

Formal charge is given by:

Total number of valence electrons in a free atom - total number of associated electrons

Resonance Forms Question (b) Draw two resonance forms for nitrite ion, NO2−. What can yousay about the geometry of this molecule (linear or bent)? (Hint: Consider the effect of electron repulsion exerted by the lone pair on nitrogen.) (c) The possibility of valence-shell expansion increases the number of feasibleresonance forms, and it is often difficult to decide on one that is “best.” Onecriterion that is used is whether the Lewis structure predicts bond lengths andbond angles with reasonable accuracy. Draw Lewis octet and valence-shellexpanded resonance forms for SO2⁢(OSO). Considering the Lewis structure for SO (Exercise 1-8), its experimental bond length of1.48Å, and the measured S–O distance in SO2 of 1.43Å, which one of the various structures would you consider “best”. Explain your answer in depth, clarity and with details and in a step-by-step fashion.
(please show reaekson and incorrect option explain and correct answer) In the major resonance structure for CN^-, what is the formal charge on the N atom? A) 0 B) +2 Q-1 D) +1
Answered 29: Which of the following particles has a central atom that does not obey octet rule in its most stable form?
