Chapter 1, Problem 5CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of electrons present in a triple bond should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The attraction or forced which hold group of atoms, ions or molecules together and results in the formation of chemical compounds is known as chemical bond. In organic chemistry, bonds can be classified as single bond, double bond and triple bond.

Our class has just touched on molecular shapes/geometries and the last HW question contains this Nitrogen atom with a + formal charge. How would the VSEPR Molecular Shape look like? Also, If the same number of bonds and charge were kept and the Nitrogen was swapped with a Carbon, would both shapes be the same?   Thank you.
Give typed full explanation  Look at figure 3-22 that shows the electron density that occurs abound the Si-O bond. This electron density map gives the "shape" of the O and Si atoms when they are bonded together. Think about the answer in Q9 and choose the best response below: (Select answer choice) a. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together, do not form spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent and these shared electrons affect atomic shape. This change in shape limits the applicability of Pauling's Coordination principle since that principle is based on the geometry of perfect spheres. b. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together are close to perfect spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent. This figure shows that Pauling's Coordination principle should apply very precisely to any substance that contains Si-O bonds c. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, form in a…
Problem Draw a Lewis structure and identify the octet-rule exception for (a) H3PO4 (draw two resonance forms and select the more important); (b) BFCl2.Plan We draw each Lewis structure and examine it for exceptions to the octet rule.(a) The central atom is in Period 3, so it can have more than an octet.(b) The central atom is B, which can have fewer than an octet of electrons.
