White phosphorus (P4) consists of four phosphorus atoms arranged at the corners of a tetrahedron. Draw the valence electrons on this structure to give a Lewis diagram that satisfies the octet rule.
What is meant by a chemical bond? Why do atoms form bonds with each other? Why do some elements exist as molecules in nature instead of as free atoms?
Write the Lewis structure for nitrosyl fluoride, FNO. Using only a periodic table, identify (a) which is the longer bond. (b) which is the stronger bond. (c) which is the more polar bond.
These are NOTlegitimate Lewisstructures (and aremissing formalcharges). Show (as inthe example) how apair of electrons canbe moved to make theLewis structurelegitimate.
A stable triatomic molecule can be formed that contains one atom each of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine. Three bonding structures are possible, depending on which is the central atom: NSF, SNF, and SFN. (a) Write a Lewis diagram for each of these molecules, indicating the formal charge on each atom. (b) Often, the structure with the least separation of formal charge is the most stable. Is this statement consistent with the observed structure for this molecule—namely, NSF, which has a central sulfur atom? (c) Does consideration of the electronegativities of N, S, and F from Figure 3.18 help rationalize this observed structure? Explain.
Draw resonance structures for each of these ions: NSO− and SNO−. (The atoms are bonded in the order given in each case, that is, S is the central atom in NSO−.) Use formal charges to determine which ion is likely to be more stable. Explain why the two ions cannot be considered resonance structures of each other.
