Chapter 7, Problem 7.6YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In equations 7-5 through 7-8, all the atoms lacking an octet are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

There are certain atoms of certain elements that can exist in stable compounds forming bonds with less than eight valence electrons. When this occurs, the atom of the element within the molecule is said to have atoms lacking an octet.

Draw a reasonable resonance structure for the following species. Draw out all bonds to the oxygen atom in your answer.
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.
Consider a chemical species (either a molecule or an ion) in which a carbon atom forms three single bonds to three hydrogen atoms and in which the carbon atom possesses an unshared electron pair. (a) What formal charge would the carbon atom have? Note: enter sign followed by number to answer this question (e.g. "+1"). Formal charge = (b) What total charge would the species have? Note: enter sign followed by number to answer this question (e.g. "+1"). Total charge = (c) What shape would you expect this species have? Shape= (d) What would you expect the hybridization of the carbon atom to be? Carbon hybridization = sp O sp³d² O sp³d O sp³ sp²
