Question
Chapter 2, Problem 9CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : The Lewis structure of carbon dioxide in Model 2 best fit for the experiments indicating that both carbon to oxygen bonds are identical should be discussed.
Concept Introduction : A legitimate Lewis structure is an electron dot and line bond representation in which the total number of valence electrons is indicated. Number of valence electrons around hydrogen is two. Number of valence electrons around carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine atom is eight. This is called the octet rule.

- Give typed full explanation Look at figure 3-22 that shows the electron density that occurs abound the Si-O bond. This electron density map gives the "shape" of the O and Si atoms when they are bonded together. Think about the answer in Q9 and choose the best response below: (Select answer choice) a. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together, do not form spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent and these shared electrons affect atomic shape. This change in shape limits the applicability of Pauling's Coordination principle since that principle is based on the geometry of perfect spheres. b. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together are close to perfect spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent.
