Question
Chapter 13, Problem 78E
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Thereason of dimerization of nitrogen dioxide to form dinitrogen tetroxide needs to be explained on the basis of Lewis structure.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis dot structure is the representation which shows the bonding between atoms present in a molecule. It shows lone pairs and bond pairs that exist on each bonded atom. Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure.
The sum of valence electrons must be arranged in such a way that all atoms must get octet configuration (8 electrons).
The bond formation between the atoms takes place due to the sharing of valence electrons of bonded atoms while the remaining electrons present in outer shell represented as lone pair of electrons.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason of boron trihydrideto accept a pair of electrons from ammonia to form

2. X is isoelectronic with Xe. It reacts with Na ion and forms Na2X.a. Give the electronic configuration (EC) and orbital diagram (OD) of the NEUTRAL atom of X. b. X forms an oxide, XO2. Give the chemical name, draw the Lewis structure of XO2 and predict its shape.
Give detailed Solution with explanation needed
Ammonia is an important chemical used in the
production of fertilizer. Industrial production of
ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen is difficult
because of the energy required to cleave the
N-N triple bond. Consider the balanced reaction
of ammonia: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2 NH3 (9).
This reaction has a value of K = 4.3 x 10-2 at 25
°C.
