One of the allotropes of sulfur is a ring of eight sulfur atoms. Draw the Lewis structure for the S8ring. Comment on whether that ring will be planar or not.b.The S8ring can be oxidized to produce S8O, in which the oxygen atom is bonded to one of the sulfur atoms and the ring is intact. Draw the Lewis structure for S8O and comment onwhether this oxidized ring will be planar or not.
Discuss the nature of the bonding in the nitrate ion (NO5).
Draw the possible Lewis resonance diagrams for this ion.
Use the VSEPR theory to determine the steric number, the
hybridization of the central N atom, and the geometry of
the ion. Show how the use of resonance structures can be
avoided by introducing a de-localized 7 MO. What bond
order is predicted by the MO model for the N-O bonds
in the nitrate ion?
Ozone is most depleted in Antarctica although very few people live there. Scientists believe that this is observed because: a) there are many coal powered plants there b) the cold climate favors the formation of atmospheric ice crystals which catalyze ozone decomposition c) The abundance of polar bears compensates for the low human population d) the Russians are conducting secret research there which emits gases which destroy ozone
