Diazomethane is a highly poisonous, explosive compound. The reason it is explosive is that it really gives off gaseous nitrogen (N2). Diazomethane has the following composition by mass: 28.57% C; 4.80% H; and 66.64% N. The molar mass of diazomethane is 42.04 g/mol. a) Find the molecular formula of diazomethane. b) Draw its Lewis structure and resonance forms as necessary c) Explain why diazomethane is not very stable.

CONCLUSIONS: In general, the boiling points of compounds increase down a group in the periodic table. The melting points and boiling points for the hydrogen compounds of group 6A elements are in the table below. Melting Point (°C) Boiling Point (°C) H₂O 0.0 100.0 H₂S -82.0 -60.0 H₂Se -65.7 -41.2 H₂Te -49.0 -2.2 Use your understanding of chemistry to propose an explanation for the anomaly in the trend for the hydrogen compounds of group 6A elements shown in the table.
