Question
Chapter 3, Problem 12CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Lewis structure that corresponds to orbital description shown below should be drawn.
Concept introduction: Lewis structures depict covalent bonds and describe valence electrons are present in the molecule.
The sequence that leads to Lewis structure of the molecule is as follows:
- Identify central atom and arrange various other atoms around it. This atom so chosen is the least electronegative one.
- Estimate the total valence electrons.
- Firstly place single bond between each pair.
- The remaining electrons can be allocated lone pairs to satisfy the octet rule for each atom.
Bonds formed due to head-to-head overlap are termed sigma bond while ones formed by sideways or lateral overlap are named pi-bonds.

Consider the Lewis structure shown for thionitromethane.
Draw the major resonance structure for the compound shown; include lone pairs of electrons, formal charges, and condensed hydrogen atoms (located in the More menu). Then draw curved arrows to show how this can be converted to the Lewis structure given.
a) Draw the formal charges to the molecule below. Label atleast two functional groups found in this molecule. Identify and circle the π bonds.
b) Draw a curly arrow notation to show how the electrons are redistributed to show a new resonance structure in which the formal charge has moved to a different heteroatom.

- Give typed full explanation Look at figure 3-22 that shows the electron density that occurs abound the Si-O bond. This electron density map gives the "shape" of the O and Si atoms when they are bonded together. Think about the answer in Q9 and choose the best response below: (Select answer choice) a. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together, do not form spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent and these shared electrons affect atomic shape. This change in shape limits the applicability of Pauling's Coordination principle since that principle is based on the geometry of perfect spheres. b. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together are close to perfect spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent. This figure shows that Pauling's Coordination principle should apply very precisely to any substance that contains Si-O bonds c.
