Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrate ion (NO5). Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion. Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the hybridization of the central N atom, and the geometry of the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be avoided by introducing a de-localized 7 MO. What bond order is predicted by the MO model for the N-O bonds in the nitrate ion?
True or False. If false give reason. H2 reacts with many s- and p-block elements forming metallic hydrides. On descending a group, the size of atoms increases due to extra shells being added. An example of molecular hydride is NaH. The oxidation state of hydrogen in ionic (salt-like) hydrides is 0. On passing steam over red-hot coke in presence of catalyst, H2O and CO are formed. HF has high boiling point than HCl and HBr due to hydrogen bonding. Metallic hydrides are nonstiochiometric.
