Chapter 6, Problem 15CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The requirement of either a lone pair or formal charge on a molecule should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The comparison of a number of electrons in a neutral atom with the number of electrons over an atom in a molecule is termed as a formal charge.

For 1 and 2, use curved arrows to illustrate the potential overall electron movements or bond changes, and identify the type of reaction by examining the overall chemical transformation. Show A-H bonds as needed.
Read This! The attractive and repulsive forces in an atom are rather complex. An electron is attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but it is also repelled by the other electrons in the atom. It is important to note however that the attractive force of the nucleus is NOT divided up among the electrons in the atom. Each electron gets approximately the full attractive force of the nucleus (minus the repulsive effects of other electrons). Compare the diagram below to set D in Model 3. Notice the similarity in attractive force. 0.10 nm 0.10 nm approx. 4.60 x 10-8 (on each electron) Model 4 – Period 3 Elements Aluminum Chlorine Sodium What does it MEAN? What do you WONDER? What do you SEE?
8. If a resonance structure must have a negative formal charge, that charge is most stable on an electronegative atom. Draw all relevant resonance structures of the molecule below with curved arrows only using pattern 1. Circle the most stable structure(s). Explain the choice of most stable structure with 1-3 complete sentences.
