Chapter 9, Problem 9.69QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The geometry of the given cation and the bonding of CN according to valence bond theory, the molecular geometry of the given anion and the Lewis structure of the given anion is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The Lewis structure represents all bonding and non-bonding electrons surrounding the atoms involved in a molecule. A molecule exhibits a particular geometry in space considering the steric hindrances of the bond pairs and the lone pairs of electron.

Valence bond theory determines the chemical bonding in a molecule.

To determine: The geometry of the given cation and the bonding of CN according to valence bond theory.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The Lewis structure of the anion consistent with the given bond length.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The molecular geometry of the given anion.
