Chapter MS, Problem 27PQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of sigma and pi bonds represented in the structure has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The bond formed by the electron sharing between the atoms is called covalent bonding. It is also referred to as molecular bonds. These bonds can either be sigma or pi bonds. The bond that is formed by the head-on or axial overlap of the atomic orbitals is a sigma bond. Since the direct overlap of orbitals is possible in sigma bonds, it is the strongest type of covalent bond. A single bond consists of one sigma bond. The pi bond is formed by the sideways overlapping of the atomic orbitals. Multiple bonds contain both sigma and pi bonds. A double bond is made up of one sigma and one pi bond whereas triple bond consists of 1 sigma bond as well as two pi bonds.

Challenging samples: 1. Metal complexes with low volatility are often difficult to analyze when performing atomic absorption measurements because the atomization efficiency is reduced to unacceptably low levels. Devise a strategy or strategies for eliminating the problem of a non-volatile metal complex?  Explain how you would do that. 2. Devise a strategy to overcome unwanted ionization of the analyte? Explain what it would be. 3. Devise a general method that can be used to account for the presence of unknown matrix effects.
