Chapter 1, Problem 1.75AP
  1. (a) Draw a Lewis structure for the ozone molecule, O3. (The order of atom attachment is O—O—O, and they do not form a ring.) Chemists use ozone to cleave carbon-carbon double bonds (Section 6.5C).
  2. (b) Draw four contributing resonance structures; include formal charges.
  3. (c) How does the resonance model account for the fact that the length of each O—O bond in ozone (128 pm) is shorter than the O—O single bond in hydrogen peroxide (HOOH, 147 pm) but longer than the O—O double bond in the oxygen molecule (123 pm)?

In addition to ammonia, nitrogen forms three other hy-drides: hydrazine (N₂H₄), diazene (N₂H₂), and tetrazene (N₄H₄).(a) Use Lewis structures to compare the strength, length, and or-der of nitrogen-nitrogen bonds in hydrazine, diazene, and N₂.(b) Tetrazene (atom sequence H₂NNNNH₂) decomposes above 0°C to hydrazine and nitrogen gas. Draw a Lewis structure fortetrazene, and calculate ΔH°ᵣₓₙ for this decomposition.
Acetylene (C2H2) and nitrogen (N2) both contain a triplebond, but they differ greatly in their chemical properties.(a) Write the Lewis structures for the two substances. (b) By referring to Appendix C, look up the enthalpies of formationof acetylene and nitrogen. Which compound is more stable?(c) Write balanced chemical equations for the completeoxidation of N2 to form N2O5(g) and of acetylene to formCO2(g) and H2O(g). (d) Calculate the enthalpy of oxidationper mole for N2 and for C2H2 (the enthalpy of formationof N2O5(g) is 11.30 kJ/mol). (e) Both N2 and C2H2 possesstriple bonds with quite high bond enthalpies (Table 8.3).Calculate the enthalpy of hydrogenation per mole for bothcompounds: acetylene plus H2 to make methane, CH4;nitrogen plus H2 to make ammonia, NH3.
(a) Describe the molecule xenon trioxide, XeO3, using four possible Lewis structures, one each with zero, one, two, or three Xe—O double bonds. (b) Do any of these resonance structures satisfy the octet rule for every atom in the molecule? (c) Do any of the four Lewis structures have multiple resonance structures? If so, how many resonance structures do you find? (d) Which of the Lewis structures in (a) yields the most favorable formal charges for the molecule?
