The carbonate anion, CO32- , is a resonance hybrid. Draw all of the important resonance structures for this molecule. If an atom has a nonzero formal charge, be sure the formal charge is shown clearly in the structure. Use the resonance structures to calculate the average formal charge on each O atom (which are all equivalent in the "true" structure). [Note: all of the important contributing resonance structures have octets around each atom that desires an octet.]
Using only single bonds, draw two corect Lewis structures of HCIO, one with Cl as the
central atom and the other with O as the central atom. Calculate the formal charges of all
atoms in each molecule. State which is the more likely structure based on the formal
charges.
In the previous problem, you drew two structures of HCIO. Are these resonance structures?
Explain why or why not.
Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts slowly with oxygen gas to form sulfur tetrafluoride monoxide.
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
In the sulfur tetrafluoride monoxide molecule the O atom and the four F atoms are bonded to a central S atom. Write a Lewis structure for this molecule in which the formal charges of all atoms is zero.
Use bond energies to estimate the enthalpy of the above reaction. (S-F bond energy = 327 kJ/mole). Is it endothermic or exothermic?
Determine the electron geometry of the molecule and predict two possible molecular geometries.
Which of the two molecular geometries in part d is more likely to be observed? Explain.
