Chapter 7, Problem 7.102PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Both ozone O3 and oxygen O2

absorbs UV light in the upper atmosphere. However, the ozone absorbs slightly longer wavelength of UV light − wavelengths that would otherwise reach the surface of the planet. Based on this fact, the answers for following should be explained:

  1. How can Lewis structure helps explain the bonding difference between ozone and oxygen that gives rise to the difference in the absorption wavelength.
  2. What relationship or relationships between light and energy do you need to know to understand this photochemical application of Lewis structures.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis structure is representation of bonding electrons and lone pair of electrons in a molecule. For an atom, it represents the number of valance electrons present in it. The bonding is represented by drawing a line between the atoms that shows the shared pair of electron and lone pairs are dots around the atom symbol of the element.

Some chemical reactions proceed by the in it ial loss or transfer of an electron to a diatomic species. Which of the molecules N2, NO. O2, C2, F2, and CN would you expect to be stabil ized by (a) the addit ion of an electron to form AB-. (b) the removal of an electron to form AB+?
In addition to ammonia, nitrogen forms three other hy-drides: hydrazine (N₂H₄), diazene (N₂H₂), and tetrazene (N₄H₄).(a) Use Lewis structures to compare the strength, length, and or-der of nitrogen-nitrogen bonds in hydrazine, diazene, and N₂.(b) Tetrazene (atom sequence H₂NNNNH₂) decomposes above 0°C to hydrazine and nitrogen gas. Draw a Lewis structure fortetrazene, and calculate ΔH°ᵣₓₙ for this decomposition.
In addition to ammonia, nitrogen forms three other hydrides: hydrazine (N2H4), diazene (N2H2), and tetrazene (N4H4).(a) Use Lewis structures to compare the strength, length, and order of the nitrogen-nitrogen bonds in hydrazine, diazene, and N2.(b) Tetrazene (atom sequence H2NNNNH2) decomposes above 08C to hydrazine and nitrogen gas. Draw a Lewis structure for tetrazene, and calculate ΔH°rxn for this decomposition.
