(a)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of SiF4 needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Lewis dot structure can be drawn with the help of valence electrons. Silicon has 4 valence electrons, Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. To complete the octet, Si will share 4 electrons, one electron each with fluorine.
Thus, the Lewis dot structure and structural formula of SiF4is represented as follows:
(b)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of CO2 needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Lewis dot structure can be drawn with the help of valence electrons. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons. To complete the octet, carbon will share 4 electrons, two electrons each with oxygen and form double covalent bond.
(c)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of CH4 needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Lewis dot structure can be drawn with the help of valence electrons. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has one valence electrons. To complete the octet, carbon will share 4 electrons, one electron each with hydrogen and form single covalent bond.
(d)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of SF2 needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Lewis dot structure can be drawn with the help of valence electrons. Sulphur has 6 valence electrons, Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. To complete the octet, sulphur will share 2 electrons, one electron each with fluorine and form single covalent bond.
(e)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of C2H4needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has one valence electrons. To complete the octet, carbon will share 4 electrons, one electron each with hydrogen and form single covalent bond.
When carbon shares two electrons with other carbon atom, it forms double bond.
(f)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of C2H2 needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(f)
Explanation of Solution
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has one valence electrons. To complete the octet, carbon will share 4 electrons, one electron each with hydrogen and form single covalent bond.
When carbon share three electrons with other carbon atom, it forms triple bond.
(g)
Interpretation: The Lewis dot structure and structural formula of C2H6needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Valence electrons are involved in covalent bonding where sharing of electrons takes place.
(g)
Explanation of Solution
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has one valence electrons. To complete the octet, carbon will share 4 electrons, one electron each with hydrogen and form single covalent bond.

Synthesize oxaloacetic acid using a mixed Claisen Condensation reaction with two different esters and a sodium ethoxide base. Give your answer as a scheme Hint 1: Your final acid product is producing using a decarboxylation reaction. Hint 2: Look up the structure of oxalic acid. HO all OH oxaloacetic acidarrow_forward20. The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns. Because certain steps involve trimolecular reac tions, it is not a model of any real chemical system but rather a prototype that has been studied extensively. The reaction steps are A-X. B+X-Y+D. 2X+ Y-3X, X-E. 305 It is assumed that concentrations of A, B, D, and E are kept artificially con stant so that only X and Y vary with time. (a) Show that if all rate constants are chosen appropriately, the equations de scribing a Brusselator are: dt A-(B+ 1)x + x²y, dy =Bx-x²y. diarrow_forwardProblem 3.
