- Write all resonance structures of chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, a molecule with the same cyclic structure as benzene. In all structures, keep the CCl bond as a single bond. Which resonance structures are the most important?arrow_forwardConsider the pyrosulfate ion, S2O72-. It has no sulfur–sulfur nor oxygen–oxygen bonds. (a) Write a Lewis structure for the pyrosulfate ion using only single bonds. (b) What is the formal charge on the sulfur atoms for the Lewis structure you drew in part (a)? (c) Write another Lewis structure using six bonds and two O—S bonds. (d) What is the formal charge on each atom for the structure you drew in part (c)?arrow_forwardDraw resonance formulas of the phosphoric acid molecule, (HO)3PO. Obtain formal charges for the atoms in these resonance formulas. From this result, which resonance formula would you expect to most closely approximate the actual electron distribution?arrow_forward
- Bond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X(g) is 525 kJ/mol. The lattice energy of AX(s) is 100 kJ/mol. f If you predicted that no ionic compound would form from the reaction in Part e, what minimum amount of AX(s) lattice energy might lead to compound formation?arrow_forwardWrite resonance forms that describe the distribution of electrons in each of these molecules or ions. (a) selenium dioxide, OSeO (b) nitrate ion, NO3 (c) nitric acid, HNO3 (N is bonded to an OH group and two O atoms) (d) benzene, C6H6 : (e) the formate ion:arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, TF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds are all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structures. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule does not.) See Exercises 25 and 26 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forward
- Suppose that any given kind of bond, such as 0-H, has a characteristic electric dipole. That is, suppose that elec- tric dipole moments can be assigned to bonds just as bond energies can be. Both are usefully accurate approxi- mations. Consider the water molecule H `H Show that if MOH is the dipole moment of the OH bond, then the dipole moment of water is µ(H2O) = 2µ0H cos (0/2). What is the dipole moment µoH if µ(H,O) is 1.86 D?arrow_forwardSulfur 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).

- Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen form two different polyatomic ions: cyanate ion (NCO) and fulminate ion (CNO). Write Lewis structures for each anion, including near-equivalent resonance structures (do not add any arrows between structures) and indicating formal charges. The isocyanate ion also has two near-equivalent structures, but the formal charge on the nitrogen attom cannot be reduced to zero: Cyanate ion (NCO)arrow_forwardThe 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).
