Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structural formulas of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor needs to be drawn including the lone pair of electrons.
Concept Introduction :
To draw the structural formulas and Lewis dot structure of the molecules, count the total number of valence electrons of all the constituent atoms.
Arrange the electrons around each atom in such a way that each atom should get eight electrons around it.
Lone pair of electrons does not participate in
Due to the presence of lone pair of electrons, the molecule deviates from its regular shape and exhibits polarity.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen structure N2:
The total number of valence electrons in N2 is 5+5 = 10
Structure of N2:
Nitrogen is a linear molecule.
Oxygen: Total number of valence electrons in oxygen is 6+6 =12.
Arrange these electrons in such a way that each atom should be surrounded by eight electrons.
Oxygen is a linear molecule.
Water Vapor:
Valence electrons in oxygen atom are 6.
Hydrogen has one valence electron.
Total water has 6+2=8 electrons.
Arrange them in such a way that oxygen should get 8 electrons around it and hydrogen should get two electrons.
Water has bent shape.
Carbon dioxide:
Carbon has four valence electrons.
Oxygen has six valence electrons.
Total number of valence electrons = 4+ 6+6=16 electrons.
Structure of CO2:
Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule.
(b)
Interpretation: The Lewis structure of water needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: To draw Lewis dot structure of water, count the total number of valence electrons of all the constituent atoms.
Then, arrange the electrons around each atom in such a way that oxygen should have eight electrons and hydrogen has two electrons.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Valence electrons in oxygen atom are 6.
Hydrogen has one valence electron.
Total water has 6+2=8 electrons.
Arrange them in such a way that oxygen should get 8 electrons around it and hydrogen should get two electrons.
(c)
Interpretation: Polar and non-polar molecules among nitrogen, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In Lewis dot structure the central atoms that carry lone pair of electrons are polar.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen is a polar molecule, since nitrogen has a lone pair.
Oxygen is a polar molecule, since oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons.
Water is a polar molecule, since oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons.
Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule, since dipole moment of C-O polar bond cancels on each direction.
(d)
Interpretation: Natural occurrence of these molecules needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The molecules which have strong intermolecular forces of attraction can exist as solids and then liquid and weak intermolecular forces of attraction make them exist as gases.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Water exists as a liquid at room temperature due to strong H-bond.
Nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide exist as gases under normal conditions.

- Show that a molecule with configuration π4 has a cylindrically symmetric electron distribution. Hint: Let the π orbitals be equal to xf and yf, where f is a function that depends only on the distance from the internuclear axis.arrow_forward(a) Verify that the lattice energies of the alkali metal iodides are inversely proportional to the distances between the ions in MI (M = alkali metal) by plotting the lattice energies given below against the internuclear distances dMI. Is the correlation good? Would a better fit be obtained by plotting the lattice energies as a function of (1 — d*/d)/d, as theoretically suggested, with d* = 34.5 pm? You must use a standard graphing program to plot the graph. It generates an equation for the line and calculates a correlation coefficient.

The lattice energies of KF, KCl, and KI are 826, 717, and 645 kJ/mol, respectively. Does the correlation obtained correlate well?
