Chapter 9, Problem 29GQ

These questions are not designated as to type or location in the chapter. They may combine several concepts.

Draw the Lewis structure for AlF4. What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What orbitals on Al and F overlap to form bonds between these elements? What are the formal charges on the atoms? Is this a reasonable charge distribution?

The formate ion is HCOO-. Carbon is the central atom. The other atoms are bonded only to the carbon atom. - Draw the best Lewis structure for the formate ion. Show all important resonance structures. Indicate all non-zero formal charges. - In the formate ion, are both carbon-oxygen bonds the same length? What is the oxidation state of carbon in the formate ion? -Which of the following molecules has the shortest carbon-oxygen bond length?  HCOO-     CO            CO2
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.]
5. (i) Provide possible resonance structure, (ii) evaluate the resonance structures with formal charge to identify the best structure, (iii) provide the resonance hybrid, the (iv) molecular geometry, and (v) discuss the bond angles. ClO, PO, 3-
