Question
Chapter 13, Problem 80E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The order of the weakest to strongest C-O bond in the given compounds needs to be determined.
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 existing on each bonded atom. Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure. The strength of bond depends on the bond order. As the bond order increases, the bond becomes stronger.

17) Is each proposed structure in Figure 4, a plausible Lewis structure for CO₂? Why or why not?

Experimentally, we find that both C-O bonds in CO 2 are identical. The C-O bond energy in CO₂
is 804 kJ/mol; that is it requires 804 kI to break one mole of C-O bonds in CO₂
An carbon-to-oxygen single bond (i.e. C-O) has a bond energy of 358 kJ/mol and an carbon-to-oxygen double bond (i.e. C=O) has a bond energy of 749 kJ/mol. Estimate the value of the carbon-to-oxygen bond energy in the carbonate anion, CO32— .
Hint: draw the Lewis structure of CO32— , consider resonance and determine which type of bonds it has. Because of the resonance, the bond between C and O will be somewhere in between the single and double bond.

What possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best
possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)?
[:ö==S:
N=
CO
:O:
The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with
three lone pairs on the sulfur.
There are no errors. This is the best possible structure.
The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure.
The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible.
The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.
