Chapter 3, Problem 104E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The observation that the NN bond length in N2O is 112pm and that the NO bond length is 119pm to be explained. The elimination of any resonance structure of N2O on the basis of formal charge is to be identified. The consistency of this elimination is to be checked with the given observation.

Concept introduction: The Lewis structure is also known as dot structure. This structure depicts the bonding between atoms and the lone pairs of electrons if exists.

Formal charge is a charge given to an atom with assumption that electrons are shared equally between atoms in all chemical bonds irrespective of their electronegativity.

To determine: The rationalization of the observation that the NN bond length in N2O is 112pm and that the NO bond length is 119pm; if any of the resonance structure of N2O can be eliminated on the basis of formal charge; if this elimination is consistent with the given observation.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has three possible Lewis structures: Given the folloing bond lengths, N-N 167 pm N9N 120 pm N:N 110 pm N9O 115 pm N-O 147 pm rationalize the observations that the N-N bond length in N2O is112 pm and that the N-O bond length is 119 pm. Assign formal charges to the resonance structures for N2O. Can you eliminate any of the resonance structures on the basis of formal charges? Is this consistent with observation?
Hydrogen azide (HN3) is a shock-sensitive liquid, which means it explodes when subjected to a physical shock. The HN3molecule contains two N-N bonds with bond lengths 113 pm and 124 pm. The H-N-N bond angle is 112°. Draw two Lewis structures of HN3 that obey the octet rule. What is the formal charge of each atom in your structures? Which structure is most consistent with the experimental data?
When gaseous sulfur trioxide is dissolved in concentratedsulfuric acid, disulfuric acid forms:SO₃(g)+ H₂SO₄(l) →H₂S₂O₇(l) Use bond energies Table to determine ΔH°ᵣₓₙ. (The S atoms in H₂S₂O₇ are bonded through an O atom. Assume Lewis structures with zero formal charges; BE of SNO is 552 kJ/mol.)
