- The sulfate ion can be represented with four S-O bonds or with two S-O and two So=O bonds.(a) Which representation is better from the standpoint of formal charges?(b) What is the shape of the sulfate ion, and what hybrid orbitals of S are postulated for the σ bonding?(c) In view of the answer to part (b), what orbitals of S must be used for the π bonds? What orbitals of O?(d) Draw a diagram to show how one atomic orbital from S and one from O overlap to form a π bond.arrow_forwardFor many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belief to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.(a) What is the formula of the compound?(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?arrow_forward1A2: Define electron pair domain (EPD), count EPDS on building blocks, and use EPD knowledge to determine 3D geometry and bond angles of a tetrahedral, trigonal planar, linear building block. For the indicated atoms (look for the arrows) in each of the given structures: (a) state how many EPDs are present; (b) Label tetrahedral atoms with "TET," trigonal planar atoms with "TP," and linear atoms with "LIN;" (c) Identify one (1) indicated atom in each structure for which resonance structures bring a change in the number of EPDs from 4++3/3+4 or 3+2/2+3. A resonance structure must be reported to justify your reported EPD changes. H₂C CH3 --С HO 1 Br -CH3 CH3 CI H₂C N CH3 CH3 он оarrow_forward

HBr + Ca(OH)2 → 4-A chemistry student needs 25.0 g of methyl acetate for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of methyl acetate is 0.934 g *cm-3. Calculate the volume of methyl acetate the student should pour out. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. ____________mL 5- NASA communicates with the Space Shuttle and International Space Station using Ku-band microwave radio.
