When a single Lewis structure cannot describe all the experimentally observed properties of a molecule more than one Lewis structure that differs only in the position of multiple bonds is drawn. These are termed resonance structures. The actual molecule is represented by the hybrid of each of these resonance structures.

- Without stratospheric ozone (O₃), harmful solar radiation would cause gene alterations. Ozone forms when the bond in O₂ breaks and each O atom reacts with another O₂ molecule. It isdestroyed by reaction with Cl atoms formed when the C−C lbond in synthetic chemicals breaks.

Circle the formula of the molecule that has the longest bond length. Justify your choice in terms of atomic structure. Br2 Cl2 F2 I2 Br2Br2 and Cl2Cl2 can react to form the compound BrClBrCl. A chemistry teacher wants to prepare Br2Br2. The teacher has access to the following three reagents: NaBr(aq)NaBr(��), Cl2(g)Cl2(�), and I2(s)I2(�).

(a) The octet rule refers to the chemical bonding patterns of the first eight elements of the Periodic Table. (b) The octet rule refers to the tendency of certain elements to react in such a way that they achieve an outer shell of eight valence electrons. (c) In gaining electrons, an atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. (d) When an atom forms an ion, only the number of valence electrons changes; the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus does not change. (e) In forming ions, Group 2A elements typically lose two electrons to become cations with a charge of 12. (f) In forming an ion, a sodium atom (1s22s22p63s1) completes its valence shell by adding one electron to fill its 3s shell (1s22s22p63s2).
