Question
Chapter 2, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To draw:
The electron shells of the given atoms and predict the number of bonds each atom should form.
Introduction:
Electrons occupy distinct energetic regions around the nucleus. They are constantly in motion, so it is not possible to detect the exact location of an electron at a given moment. The electrons can be imagined as occupying a series of concentric energy shells. Each shell has a higher energy level than the one inside it.

Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic
compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs.
Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom.
Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas.

Look up the valence electron configuration, covalent atomic radius, effective nuclear charge, first ionization energy and Pauling
electronegativity in Chapter 8 (tables are attached). Examine the above data and answer the following questions.
a) Explain why some of the elements like TI and Pb on the lower left of the p block are metallic.
b) Explain why some of the elements like C, Si in the center of the p block form covalent bonds. Explain why these bonds formed
by the network of these elements (as studied in Chapter 25) tend to be unreactive.
c) Explain why the noble Group 8A elements are highly unreactive gases.
d) Explain why some elements like F, CI, Br etc, on the upper right of the p block are highly reactive nonmetals.
