Question

Transcribed Image Text:Explaine why, in Part I, the formal charge is equal to the number of valence electrons.
Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
minus
The formal charge on each atom is the number of valence electrons
the number of
plus
lone pair electrons and
the number of bonding electrons. The formal charge is equal to
the number of valence electrons because there are
bonds.

Show the formal charges of all atoms in the correct structure. To change the symbol of an atom, double-click on the atom, and enter the letter of the new atom.arrow_forward

- a) Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule on the left (labeled as Molecule A above). Draw the Lewis structure which has minimum formal charges. b) Draw the correct Lewis structure for the molecule on the right (labeled as Molecule B above). Draw the Lewis structure which has minimum formal charges. c) Select the three TRUE statements from those provided below. The molecule on the right (Molecule B) is planar (all atoms lie within the same plane). The molecule on the left (Molecule A) is planar (all atoms lie within the same plane). The molecule on the right (Molecule B) has polar bonds. The molecule on the left (Molecule A) has polar bonds. We can distinguish between the two molecules (Molecule A and Molecule B) based upon their dipole moment.arrow_forwardcan you explain a little bit about the rules when drawing lewis dot diagrams, it is correct to say that all elements need 8 electrons to be stable and if their is extrea valance electrons this gets added to the center atom and if not eneough creat double bonds.arrow_forwardQuestion Provide each unique Lewis structure for the HONO molecule that maintains the H-O-NO connectivity and where all atoms have an octet (hydrogen a duet). Your structures should explicitly show ALL bonds, all lone pairs, and all formal charges. Which Lewis structure contributes more to the real hybrid structure of HONO? What is the relationship between these Lewis structures and what type of arrow is used to show their relationship? This question is confusing to me. Please explain your answer.arrow_forward
