Concept explainers
Interpretation: Resonance structures for the formate ion,
Concept Introduction:
Resonating structures are structures that have more than one equivalent Lewis structure for the same molecule or ion.
Resonance structures have existence in paper only, thus, they are not real structures.
According to the convention, these structures are connected by double-headed arrows (
The movement of electrons is represented by curved arrows.
The energy of any contributing structure is higher than the energy of the resonance hybrid.
For equivalent resonating structures, the resonance stabilization is large.

- Using just a periodic table (not a table of electronegativities), decide which of these is likely to be the most polar bond. Explain your answer! (a) C-F (b) S-F (c) Si-F (d) O-Farrow_forwardThe two compounds nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetraoxide are introduced in Section 3.13. (a) NO2 is an odd-electron compound. Draw the best Lewis diagrams possible for it, recognizing that one atom cannot achieve an octet configuration. Use formal charges to decide whether that should be the (central) nitrogen atom or one of the oxygen atoms. (b) Draw resonance forms for N2O4 that obey the octet rule. The two N atoms are bonded in this molecule.arrow_forwardConsider the theoretical molecule KrCl3‾. (a) Draw a valid Lewis structure for KrCl3‾. Show all lone pairs and use lines for bonds. Label all non-zeroformal charges on individual atoms and show the overall charge, if it exists, using square brackets.(b) What would you expect to be the molecular geometry for this ion? Fully explain your thought process,including all details about how successive lone pairs should be positioned within this electron geometry.(c) Draw this ion in 3-D, using hashed and wedged bonds as appropriate. Do not worry about labeling the overall or formal charge.arrow_forward
