Answer to Problem 9.43QP
Explanation of Solution
To find: The correct Lewis structure for the given molecule.
- The given structure of the molecule is shown below.
- In the given structure, the carbon contains lone pair of electrons and the bond between carbon and nitrogen is double bond. So the octets of these two atoms are not filled.
- The corrected Lewis structure of the above compound is drawn below.
The total number of valence electrons is found to be 10, where 1 electron, 5 electrons and 4 electrons were contributed by H, C and N atoms respectively. Carbon is placed as the central atoms since its electronegativity is less than nitrogen.

Answer to Problem 9.43QP
Explanation of Solution
To find: The correct Lewis structure of the given molecule.
- The given structure of the molecule is below.
- In the given structure, tin atom does not fill the octet since the bond between tin and terminal atoms are single bond.
- The corrected Lewis structure of the above compound is drawn below.
The electronegativity of tin atom is less than oxygen, so it is taken as the central atom bonded with an oxygen atom at each side. Tin atom contributes 4 and each oxygen atom contributes 6 electrons making the total number of valence electrons 16.
To obtain the remaining electrons 12, two electrons for each bond is reduced from the total number of valence electrons, which then further distributed on the terminal oxygen atoms to fill the octets.
Since the central tin atom does not complete octet, a double bond is formed between each terminal oxygen atom

Answer to Problem 9.43QP
Explanation of Solution
To find: The correct Lewis structure of the given molecule.
- The given structure of the molecule is below.
- In this structure, there is a lone pair of electron on boron atom whereas in actual structure that lone pair is no needed to fill the octet.
- The corrected Lewis structure of the above compound is drawn below.
Boron atom has less electronegativity comparing to fluorine. So it is taken as the central atom with 3 terminal fluorine atoms. The boron has 4 and each fluorine atom have 7 valence electrons. Since there are 3 fluorine atoms the total valence electron of the molecule becomes 24.
The 18 electrons after reducing two electrons for each bond from the total valence electron are distributed onfluorine atom to fill the octets. So each fluorine atom gets 3 lone pairs.

Answer to Problem 9.43QP
Explanation of Solution
- The given structure of the molecule is below.
- Here the bond between oxygen and carbon is not given appropriately to fill the octet.
- The corrected Lewis structure of the above compound is drawn below.
Comparing to fluorine and oxygen, carbon has the least electronegativity, so it is taken as the central atom with hydrogen, fluorine and oxygen at its terminal positions.
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and fluorine contribute 1, 6, 4 and 7 electrons respectively making the total number of valence electrons 18.
To fill the octets of the atoms, the 12 electrons after reducing two electrons for each bond from the total valence electron are distributed on terminal atoms.
Since the central carbon atom does not have sufficient electrons to fill the octet, a double bond is made between carbon and terminal oxygen atoms.

Explanation of Solution
- The given structure of the molecule is below.
- In this structure a lone pair of electrons is missing which is sufficient to fill the octet of nitrogen.
- The corrected Lewis structure of the above compound is drawn below.
Nitrogen atom has less electronegativity comparing to fluorine. So it is taken as the central atom with 3 fluorine atoms at the terminal positions of it
The nitrogen has 5 and each fluorine atom have 7 valence electrons. Since there are 3 fluorine atoms the total number of valence electrons becomes 26.
The 20 electrons after reducing two electrons for each bond from the total valence electron are distributed on fluorine atom to fill the octets. The remaining 2 electrons are distributed to the central atom so that nitrogen fills the octet.

The incident radiation had a wavelength of 1064 nm, and the emitted electrons had an energy of 0.137 eV.
