- Thiocyanic acid (HSCN) is an inorganic acid (pKa = 1.1 at 25 °C) that can be classified as “strong” largely due to resonance stabilization of its conjugate base, thiocyanate (SCN– ). In the space provided below, draw Lewis electron dot structures of SCN- and all of its important resonance forms.arrow_forwardFor 1-54 (b), how do we determine if the hybridization of nitrogen is sp^2 or sp^3? One resonance structure (with the positive charge on nitrogen) has sp^2 while the other two have sp^3. Which structure do we use to assess hybridization?arrow_forwardUsing your general knowledge of periodic trends in electronegativity, predict whether the C=O bond and the C-H bonds in formaldehyde will be strongly polar, weakly polar or nonpolar. Calculate the electronegativity difference ΔχO-C across the C=O bond and the electronegativity difference ΔχC-H to confirm or correct your predictions. For any strongly polar bond(s) on the molecule, draw the bond dipole moment adjacent to the bond in the VSEPR structure above, using crossed arrow notation to show the direction of the positive and negative bond dipoles. Predict whether the overall molecule should be polar or nonpolar. ___________________ Explain your reasoning below. If the overall molecule is polar, draw the net dipole next to the molecule, using crossed arrow notation to indicate the direction of the dipole.arrow_forward
- Select the bonds in the 3D representation of methyl urethane below that are multiple bonds. (Hint: Consider the number of bonds attached to an atom in the image compared to the normal valence of that atom. In a valid structure, the number of bonds to an atom will equal the valence of that atom.) • Gray = C: white = H; red = 0; blue = N; dark green = Cl; brown = Br; light green = F; purple = 1; yellow = S: orange = P. • Double click to select bonds.
