Chapter 14, Problem 14.113P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Lewis structure of CO, CN, and C22 has to be determined.

Concept-Introduction:

Lewis structure:

Electron dot structure also known as Lewis dot structure represents the number of valence electrons of an atom or constituent atoms bonded in a molecule.  Each dot corresponds to one electron.

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The Lewis electron dot structure for given molecules are determined by first drawing the skeletal structure for the given molecules, then the total number of valence electrons for all atoms present in the molecules are determined.

The next step is to subtract the electrons present in the total number of bonds present in the skeletal structure of the molecule with the total valence electrons such that considering each bond contains two electrons with it.

Finally, the electrons which got after subtractions have to be equally distributed considering each atom contains eight electrons in its valence shell.

Draw Lewis structure of CO:

Outer valence electrons of Carbon and Oxygen are four and six respectively.

  O = 1×6 = 6C = 1×4 = 4Total e = 6 + 4 = 101 Bonds  = (1×2)=2Remaining e = 102=8

Here, one triple bond is required to complete the complete the octets of all the atoms.

After the distribution of electrons, both Carbon and Oxygen atoms gets a lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis structure of CO follows as,

Draw Lewis structure of CN:

Outer valence electrons of Carbon and Nitrogen are four and five respectively.

  C = 1×4 = 4N = 1×5 = 5Charge =1Total e = 4 + 5 + 1 = 101 Bonds  = (1×2)=2Remaining e = 102=8

Here, one triple bond is required to complete the complete the octets of all the atoms.

After the distribution of electrons, both Carbon and Nitrogen atoms gets a lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis structure of CN follows as,

Draw Lewis structure of C22:

Outer valence electrons of Carbon are four.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

MO diagrams of CO, CN, and C22  has to be drawn and also its bond order and electron configuration has to be determined.

Concept-Introduction:

Molecular orbital (MO) theory:  It is a method for determining molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.

According to this theory there are two types of orbitals,

  1. (1) Bonding orbitals
  2. (2) Antibonding orbitals

Electrons in molecules are filled in accordance with the energy; the anti-bonding orbital has more energy than the bonding orbitals.

The electronic configuration of oxygen molecule O2 can be represented as follows,

    (σ1s)2(σ*1s)2(σ2s)2(σ*2s)2(σ2p)2( π2p)4( π*2p)2 

The * represent the antibonding orbital

Orbital diagram represents each orbital with a box, with orbital’s in the same subshell in connected boxes, electrons are shown as arrows in the boxes, pointing up or down to indicate their spins.

Bond order: It is the measure of number of electron pairs shared between two atoms.

Bondorder=12(NumberofelectronsinbondoingMOs-NumberofelectronsinantibondingMOs)

Bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order.

If two or more different chemical species having same number of valence electrons are known as isoelectronic species.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the electron configuration:

CO, CN, and C22 are isoelectronic (14 electrons).  Thus has same electronic configuration as follows,

  (σ1s)2(σ*1s)2(σ2s)2(σ*2s)2( π2p)4(σ2p)2 

Determine the bond order:

Here, number of bonding orbitals is 10 whereas number of antibonding orbitals is 4.

The number of electrons present in bonding and antibonding orbitals is same for these compounds.  Hence, CO, CN, and C22 has similar bond order and MO diagrams.

The bond order for CO, CN, and C22 is calculated as given below,

Bondorder=12(NumberofelectronsinbondoingMOs-NumberofelectronsinantibondingMOs)= 12(104)= 3

The bond order for CO, CN, and C22 is 3.

Draw the MO diagram:

Molecular Orbital diagram for CO, CN, and C22 is shown below,
