Question
Chapter 3, Problem 130AE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Carbon monoxide being more reactive than dinitrogen gas is to be justified.
Concept introduction: Resonance can be defined as the way of describing the delocalized electrons where the bonding between the atoms cannot be expressed using a single Lewis structure. The different structures thus obtained are known as the resonating structures.
To determine: A justification over the more reactive nature of carbon monoxide.

Look up the energies for the bonds in CO and N2. Although the bond in CO is stronger, CO is considerably more reactive than N2. Give a possible explanation.
Consider hypothetical elements X2 and Y2. Suppose the enthalpy of formation of the compound XY is – 84 kJ/mol, the bond energy for X2 is 105 kJ/mol, and the bond energy for Y2 is 58 kJ/mol.
A)Estimate the XY bond energy, Ed, in units of kJ/mol.
B)If the dissociation of a X-Y molecule were accomplished by the absorption of a single photon whose energy was exactly the quantity required, what would be its wavelength in nm?
C)Would a green-light photon (λgreen=550 nm) be able to break the above X-Y bond? Explain.
2. The amide linkage is the connection between amino acids in the
