(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Lewis diagram of ONCl should be drawn and the geometries of the molecules should be predicted. Whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that each atom in a molecule occupy a geometry which reduces the repulsions between electrons in the valence shell of that atom. Geometry can be predicted looking at the Lewis structure of the molecule and its steric number.

  SN = (number of atoms bonded to central atom)+(number of lone pairs on central atom)

Polar molecules have a net dipole moment and net dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules.

(b)

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
