In this problem, we examine the basis of three different electronegativity scales and work through the same types of calculations as those performed by the people who initially suggested these scales. The scale developed by Robert Mulliken employs ionization energies (E) and electron amenities
In devising his scale, Pauling observed that the bond energy,
Mulliken argued that the ionization energy
Alred and Rochow focused on the attractive Coulombic force between an electron near the surface of an atom and the nucleus of that atom.
They argued that the magnitude of this force is proportional to where
The values of
Atom, EN(Pauling), EN(MuIliken), (Hint: The Pauling values you calculate will not be exactly equal to those in Figure 10-6. The values in Figure 10-6 are based on bond dissociation energies from a wider range of molecules than we are considering in this problem.

- In each of the following Lewis diagrams, Z represents a main-group element. Name the group to which Z belongs in each case and give an example of such a compound or ion that actually exists.arrow_forwardThe molecular ion S3N3 has the cyclic structure All SN bonds are equivalent. (a) Give six equivalent resonance hybrid Lewis diagrams for this molecular ion. (b) Compute the formal charges on all atoms in the molecular ion in each of the six Lewis diagrams. (c) Determine the charge on each atom in the polyatomic ion, assuming that the true distribution of electrons is the average of the six Lewis diagrams arrived at in parts (a) and (b). (d) An advanced calculation suggests that the actual charge resident on each N atom is 0.375 and on each S atom is +0.041 . Show that this result is consistent with the overall +1 charge on the molecular ion.arrow_forwardThe molecules BH3 and SF6 and the ion SO42 exist and are stable.

- A resonance hybrid is a structure that can be depicted by more than one valid Lewis structure. part1: Draw the major resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part2: Draw the second most important resonance form of fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized, and it should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons. part3: Draw the least important resonance contributor for fulminic acid, HCNO, with the atoms connected as indicated in the formula. Your structure should have nonzero formal charges minimized and should include all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonding electrons.arrow_forwardIn Lewis theory, we use electron dot formulas and the VSEPR model to determine electron distributionand geometric structure of covalent particles.
