CO, CO₂, CH3OH, and CO32- all contain carbon-oxygen bonds. Draw Lewis structures for these molecules and ions. Given that double bonds are stronger than single bonds and
triple bonds are stronger than double bonds, rank the four species in order of increasing CO bond strength.
Weakest:

In polluted air,
describe the role that NO2 plays in the production of tropospheric (ground-level) ozone, and
the role that NO plays in the destruction of tropospheric (ground-level) ozone.
What role do hydrocarbons (VOCs) play in the production of ozone and other photochemical oxidants?
Explain why the bond between B and Cl in the molecule BCl3 is shorter than would be expected for a single B—Cl bond.
