Concept explainers
Interpretation: The purpose to explain one structure from top row is enough to describe the molecule in top row but all structure is needed from bottom row to describe the molecule in bottom row 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.

If they aren't, could you please help me to figure out what I did wrong?arrow_forwardNeed help with questions 1 and 3. Please see attached image.

- I don't get it at all. I struggled with my homework. Can you help me? Can you help me to explain to me, please?arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. Water appears in nature in all three common states of matter. Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at standard temperature and pressure. 2. The addition of salt in the distilling mixture made the water impure and saline. The addition of 5 drops of the silver nitrate solution into the distillate determines whether the distillate is impure or pure water. 3. The ideal electrical conductivity of totally pure water is 0.055 microSiemens, whereas typical deionized water has an electrical conductivity of 0.1 microSiemens. The freezing point of water at 1 atm is 100degC. 4. From the air, oxygen can slowly diffuse across the water’s surface from the surrounding atmosphere, or be mixed in quickly through aeration, whether natural or man-made. The aeration of water can be caused by wind (creating waves),…arrow_forwardChoose the selection which most accurately gives both the value of the angle numbered 1 and the value of the angle numbered 2 in the figure above. Choose the best possible (most specific) answer. Other answers will be graded wrong. For example, if an angle is somewhat greater than 109.5 degrees, an answer which says that it is somewhat less than 120 degrees, while somewhat correct, will be graded wrong. a) Angle 1 is very close to 180 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. b) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees. c) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. d) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 120 degrees. e) Angle 1 is somewhat more than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees.arrow_forward

O A OD O B MacBook Proarrow_forwardThe question is based on the following passage. Cathie remembers feeling exceptionally exhausted and irritable every January. After years of struggling with this "winter depression," Cathie went to talk to a physician about her health concerns. She was diagnosed as having Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. Millions of Americans are also affected by this disease, which causes anxiety, fatigue, and food cravings. SAD is associated with lower intensity and abbreviated periods of sunshine. The dark, gloomy hours of winter along with the shortened days cause this disorder to be the most severe from November through March. People who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder claim to find relief with exercise and bright-light therapies. Based on the passage, where in the United States would a physician encounter the most cases of SAD?
