Concept explainers
Interpretation: The curved arrows to resonance structures of ozone should be added. Also, type of arrow should be determined.
Concept introduction: When one single structure is unable to describe all the properties of single molecule, a phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more than two Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are inter-convertible with each other. The resultant of all the resonating or contributing structures is called the resonance hybrid.
Rules to form resonance structure are as follows:
1. Use arrow types 1 and 2 for resonance structure of anions in movement of negative charge.
2. Use only arrow type 3 to move a positive charge for resonance structure of cations.
3. The sigma bond should not be broken. Any atom must not move from its place and total number of electrons must be same in all resonance structures.

- answer 3 and 5. PLS MAKE IT LIKE THIS WAY SO THAT I UNDERSTAND IT IONIC YES OR NO POLAR YES OR NO NON POLAR YES OR NO IMF EXIST IS..... NO EXPLANATION NEEDED.arrow_forwardWhy hydrogen bond is considered a weak bond? At least a three sentence answer, please.arrow_forwardConsider the following carbocation (i.e., a molecule with a positive formal charge on a carbon). Note: Carbocation is pronounced "car-bo-cat-ion." (1) What is the molecular formula for the molecule? Example answer format: C1H2 means CH2. C type your answer... H type your answer... (2) How many carbons are in this molecule for each of the following hybridization states? number of sp-hybridized carbons: type your answer... number of sp²-hybridized carbons: type your answer... number of sp³-hybridized carbons: type your answer... (3) How many unhybridized valence p orbitals are in this molecule? type your answer... (4) How many total p orbitals are conjugated to form the longest network in this molecule? type your answer... (5) Which of the following is a valid resonance structure of this molecule? Answer Choice: choose your answer... (A) (B) (C) (D) and (E) None of these.arrow_forward
- See image belowarrow_forward:CI I Select to Add Arrows 1arrow_forwardFor molecule showed on the rightdraw the structure of 3 different conjugated basesbased on 3 different types of hydrogen which could be deprotonated (CH3, and two different CH2groups). For each structure of conjugate base draw all possible resonance structuresand finally rank all 3 C-H bonds in order of increasing their acidity.arrow_forward
