Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of electron pairs of iodine atom in
Concept Introduction:
Electron pairs comprise of double electrons with different spins present in the same molecular orbital. There are two types of electron pair, one is lone pair which refers to the pair of electrons that is not shared in the covalent bond and is sometimes called unshared pair of electrons and the other is bond pair which refers to the pair of electrons that are mutually shared with other atoms through a covalent bond.
Lone pair involves two electrons of similar atoms that occupy same molecular orbital and bond pair includes two electrons of different atom in different orbitals and forms pi or sigma bond.

- Predict whether the bonds in the following compounds are ionic or covalent: (a) NaI (sodium iodide); (b) H 2O 2 (hydrogen peroxide).arrow_forward. Assume that the third-period element phosphorus forms a diatomic molecule, P2, in an analogous way as nitrogen does to form N2. (a) Write the electronic configuration for P2. Use [Ne2] to represent the electron configuration for the first two periods. (b) Calculate its bond order. (c) What are its magnetic properties (diamagnetic or paramagnetic)?arrow_forwardThe Lewis structure of BH2Cl (a) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? (b) What is the hybridization of the carbon atom? (c) What is the geometric shape of the molecule?arrow_forward
- 5. (i) Provide possible resonance structure, (ii) evaluate the resonance structures with formal charge to identify the best structure, (iii) provide the resonance hybrid, the (iv) molecular geometry, and (v) discuss the bond angles. ClO, PO, 3-arrow_forwardKeeping in mind that some elements violate the octet rule, draw a Lewis structure for each compound: (a) BeH 2; (b) PCl 5.arrow_forwardDraw Lewis diagrams and predict the geometries of the following molecules. State which are polar and which are nonpolar. (a) ONCI (c) XeF2 (e) CHF; (b) O,NCI (d) SCl4arrow_forward
- (a) Find the angle u between adjacent nearest-neighbor bonds in the silicon lattice. Recall that each silicon atom is bonded to four of its nearest neighbors.The four neighbors form a regular tetrahedron— a pyramid whose sides and base are equilateral triangles. (b) Find the bond length, given that the atoms at the corners of the tetrahedron are 388 pm apart.arrow_forwardDraw a Lewis electron-dot symbol for (a) Rb; (b) Si; (c) I.arrow_forwardDraw the molecular shapes and predict the bond angles (relative to the ideal angles) of (a) PF3 and (b) COCl2.arrow_forward
- Draw Lewis structures of all the important resonance forms of (a) N3₃⁻; (b) NO₂⁻.arrow_forwardFrom their Lewis structures, determine the number of sand π bonds in each of the following molecules or ions:(a) CO2; (b) cyanogen,(CN2); (c) formaldehyde, H2CO;(d) formic acid, HCOOH, which has one H and two O atomsattached to C.arrow_forwardThere are two main types of covalent bond breakage. In ho-molytic breakage , each atom in the bond gets one of the shared electrons. In some cases, the electronega-tivity of adjacent atoms affects the bond energy. In heterolytic breakage, one atom gets both electrons and the other gets none;thus, a cation and an anion form. (a) Why is the C−C bond in H₃C−CF₃(423 kJ/mol) strongerthan that in H₃C−CH₃(376 kJ/mol)?(b) Use bond energy and any other data to calculate the heat ofreaction for the heterolytic cleavage of O₂.arrow_forward
