- In addition to CO, CO2, and C3O2, there is another molecular oxide of carbon, pentacarbon dioxide, C5O2, a yellow solid. (a) What is the approximate C-to-C-to-O bond angle in pentacarbon dioxide? (b) What is the approximate C-to-C-to-C bond angle in this compound?arrow_forwardKetene, C2H2O, is a reactant for synthesizing cellulose acetate, which is used to make films, fibers, and fashionable clothing. (a) Write the Lewis structure of ketene. Ketene does not contain an OH bond. (b) Identify the electron-region geometry and the molecular geometry around each carbon atom and all the bond angles in the molecule. (c) Identify the hybridization of each carbon and oxygen atom. (d) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? Use appropriate data to support your answer.arrow_forwardArrange H2O, CHCl3, and SCl2 from least polar to most polar:arrow_forward
- A student investigates the physical and chemical properties of various carbon-containing compounds. Thr complete Lewis electron-dot diagrams and boiling points for two compounds, Q and Z, are shown in the following table: B) Any C — H bond in compound Q is shorter than the S — H bond in compound Z. Explain the reason for this difference using principles of atomic structure.arrow_forwardThe hydrocarbon cyclobutane, C4H8, is represented above. At high temperatures, cyclobutane quickly decomposes into ethene, C2H4. (see attached image) (a) Draw a Lewis electron-dot diagram of the ethene molecule in the following box, and estimate the value of the H−C−H bond angle in ethene.arrow_forward2a) The molecule ethene (or ethylene), which has the molecular formula C₂H4, contains two carbon atoms with planar geometry. Construct a model of ethene by first connecting two black balls with two springs. Use four short sticks and four yellow balls to complete the structure. Sketch a perspective representation (a three dimensional drawing) of the structure. 2b) What is the C=C-H bond angle in ethene?arrow_forward
- Which has a greater dipole moment? CH2Cl2 or CH2F2 The book states that a C-Cl bond has a greater dipole moment than a C-F bond, regardless of F's larger electronegativity, because the C-Cl has a larger bond length. Does the same logic apply?arrow_forwardIn PF4^+, the F--F and P--F bond distances are 238 and 145.7 pm respectively. Predict the F--P--F bond angle bond angle in POF3 which has P--F bond distance of 154 pm. Draw both structures and indicate the angles and bond distances in each moleculearrow_forwardPart A Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds connecting them. Thus, each individual carbon atom forms one o bond with another carbon atom and one o and one bond with another carbon atom. Each carbon atom also forms one o bond with a hydrogen atom.

- which of the following statement is not true? 1)Nitrogen s relative inertness is due to formation of strong and stable bond between 2 nitrogens atom. 2)the bond energy of N2 is relatively higher that makes it relatively inert. 3)the bond energy of an O-H bond is always the same in all compounds that contain an O-H bond 4)carbon-carbon single bond is the longest among all sorts of carbon-carbon bonds 5)a shorter bond in general ,is a stronger bond than a longer bondarrow_forwardYou are given part of a molecule shown below. Assume that the two atoms are covalently bound to each other and to a larger molecule at the first dash symbol. Can the atom that is underlined (as shown) participate in a hydrogen bond with another atom from a different molecule? −O−H −C−H −N−H −O−H −C−H Can the oxygen of -O-H participate in a hydrogen bond? Can the hydrogen of -C-H participate in a hydrogen bond? Can the nitrogen of -N-H participate in a hydrogen bond? Can the hydrogen of O-H participate in a hydrogen bond? Can the carbon of -C-H participate in a hydrogen bond?arrow_forwardWhy H2O is dipolar whereas BeF2 is not.arrow_forward
