Chapter 2, Problem 17E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A molecule containing a carbon with a -1 formal charge should be drawn.

Concept introduction: Having an extra electron around an atom gives a -1 formal charge to that atom.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A molecule containing a carbon with a +1 formal charge should be drawn.

Concept introduction: Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom.

A resonance hybrid is a structure that can be depicted by more than one valid Lewis structure. part1: Draw the major resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part2: Draw the second most important resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part3: Draw the least important resonance contributor for fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized and should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons.
An incomplete Lewis structure is shown below. The structure only shows the atoms and how they are connected. The molecule has a net charge of zero. H H. H. Complete the Lewis structure giving all atoms full octets. It there is more than one way to do this, draw resonance structures showing all posibilities. If not just draw one Lewis structure. Be sure to wite in any non-zero formal charges. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. 2.
