Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To draw the Lewis structure of a molecule in which carbon atom is bonded by a double bond to an other carbon atom.
Concept Introduction:
A covalent bond is formed by sharing of same number of electrons between two atoms to complete their octet. Atoms taking part in covalent bond formation may share one, two or three electron pairs thus forming single, double and triple bond respectively.
Lewis structure of a molecule can be determined as-
- 1.Calculate the total number of valence electrons.(T.V.E. = a).
Sum up all the electrons of all atoms present in the molecule.
If the molecule is an anion, add the same number of electrons as the charge present on the ion.
If it is a cation, subtract the same number of electrons as the charge present on the ion.
2. Calculate the total number of electrons required for each atom to have a complete octet or doublet for hydrogen (b).
3. Therefore number of bonds formed =
4.Remaining electrons are called as lone pairs.
5.Assign formal charges to atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
To draw the Lewis structure of a molecule in which carbon atom is bonded by a double bond to an oxygen atom.

The chemical equation for the net ionic reaction of NaCl and KCl with silver nitrate, AgNO3, is shown below. Ag+(aq) + Cl(aq) → AgCl(s) The total mass of the NaCl/KCl mixture is 1.299 g. Adding 50.42 mL of 0.381 M solution precipitates out all of the Cl-. What are the masses of NaCl and KCl in the mixture? Atomic masses: g: Mass of NaCl g: Mass of KCL Ag = 107.868 g mol- 1 Cl = 35.453 g mol- 1 K = 39.098 g mol- N = 14.007 g mol−1 Na = 22.99 g mol−1 0 = 15.999 g mol 1 Question Help: ✓ Message instructor Submit Questionarrow_forwardPart 1.

- Identify the missing starting materials/ reagents/ products in the following reactions. Show the stereochemistry clearly in the structures, if any. If there is a major product, draw the structures of the major product with stereochemistry clearly indicated where applicable. Show only the diastereomers (you do not have to draw the pairs of enantiomers). If you believe that multiple products are formed in approximately equal amounts (hence neither is the major product), draw the structures of the products, and show the detailed mechanism of these reactions to justify the formation of the multiple products. If you believe no product is formed, explain why briefly. (6 mark for each, except f and g, which are 10 mark each)arrow_forward3.
