Chapter 3, Problem 13CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Lewis structure of ethene should be drawn and also the sigma and pi bonds in below figure and Lewis structure of ethene should be labeled.

Concept introduction: Bonds formed due to head-to-head overlap are termed sigma bond while ones formed by sideways or lateral overlap are named pi-bonds.A single bond has one σ bond; double bond has one σ bond along with one π bond while triple bond has two π bonds in addition to one σ bond. Ethyne is one such molecule to understand this overlap that results in pi bond formation. It has terminal and central sigma bonds and two pi bonds each in different planes as shown by two sets of orthogonal p-orbital.

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. This figure shows that Pauling's Coordination principle should apply very precisely to any substance that contains Si-O bonds c. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, form in a…
What is delocalization energy? How is it related to resonance energy? Answer by selecting all true statements. 00 Resonance energy is a term used in VB theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy are term that describe different conditions. Resonance energy is a term used in MO theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy are essentially the same thing. Resonance energy and delocalization energy represent the additional stability associated with a spreading out of electron density. Delocalization energy is a term used in VB theory. Delocalization energy is a term used in MO theory. Resonance energy and delocalization energy represent the additional stability associated with concentrating electron density.
How do you know when to draw a solid wedge vs a dashed wedge when drawing 3D bond-line structures? I know that solid-wedge means the atom is pointing towards you and dashed wedge means it's in the back, but how do you know which atoms are in the front as opposed to the back? How can you tell what the configuration will look like in space just by looking at the lewis structure or name?
