Interpretation:
The correct representation of the Hydrogen cyanide molecule and the electron-dot formula has to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
The electron structure of a given molecule contains delocalized bonding via possible structure of all electron-dot formulas is known as resonance description.
One form of resonance stable structure is converted into other forms. It possible in both single and multiple bonds molecule. The electron-dot formulas differing only in the placement of single and double bonds
Lewis structure otherwise known as Lewis dot diagrams or electron dot structures that show the bond between atoms and lone pairs of electrons that are present in the molecule. Lewis structure represents each atom and their position in structure using the chemical symbol. Excess electrons forms the lone pair are given by pair of dots, and are located next to the atom.

- Answer the following questions relating to the chemistry of the halogens. (a) The molecular formulas of diatomic bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine are written below. Circle the formula of the molecule that has the longest bond length. Justify your choice in terms of atomic structure. Br2 Cl2 F2 I2 Br2Br2 and Cl2Cl2 can react to form the compound BrClBrCl. A chemistry teacher wants to prepare Br2Br2. The teacher has access to the following three reagents: NaBr(aq)NaBr(��), Cl2(g)Cl2(�), and I2(s)I2(�). Half-Reaction E°�° at 25°C(V)25°C(V) Br2+2e−→2Br−Br2+2�−→2Br− 1.071.07 Cl2+2e−→2Cl−Cl2+2�−→2Cl− 1.361.36 I2+2e−→2I−I2+2�−→2I− 0.530.53 (b) Using the data in the table above, write the balanced equation for the thermodynamically favorable reaction that will produce Br2Br2 when the teacher combines two of the reagents. Justify that the reaction is thermodynamically favorable by calculating the value of E°�° for the reaction. (c) The boiling point of Br2Br2 is…arrow_forwardAre the following Ionic Compounds, Covalent Compounds or Acids? Write formulas as appropriate for each of the following.arrow_forwardNo Plagirism Please! Group 1 elements have an average electronegativity of 0.84 (not including hydrogen). Group 17 elements have an average electronegativity of 2.99. These two groups often form bonds. Given this information, which kind of bond will they likely form (ionic or covalent), and what evidence supports your claim? If it is ionic, then include which group gives up its electron to the other group. In three to five sentences, explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. The number of covalent bonds an atom can form relates to the number of electrons it can share and still result in a neutral molecule. It is important to know how many bonds certain elements are most likely to form in order to draw structural formulas for molecules.arrow_forwardWhile investigating the properties of other diatomic molecules, the student finds the diagram below, which shows the potential energy of two iodine atoms versus the distance between their nuclei. The student also finds that the I-I bond energy is slightly less than the F-F bond energy. The student incorrectly sketches the potential energy curve for two fluorine atoms, shown by the dotted line in the diagram.arrow_forwardHow many valence electrons are in the ion No^-? Describe how you obtain the numbers of valence electrons and give the number of valence electrons.arrow_forward
- A polar covalent bond would form in which of the following pairs of atoms? (Refer to a periodic table with electronegativity values) Ca-CI b Cr-Br P-CI d CI-CIarrow_forwardA resident expert on electronegativity comes up to visit with you. He makes two claims (seen below) about electronegativity with relation to covalent bonding. Is the expert correct or can you refute him with your knowledge of electronegativity? (a) If a diatomic molecule is made up of atoms X and Y, which have different electronegativities, the molecule must be polar. (b) The farther two atoms are apart in a bond, the larger the dipole moment will be.arrow_forwardUse your knowledge of the correct number of covalent bonds to predict the formula for a simple compound formed between carbon and(a) hydrogen:(b) bromine:(c) sulfur:(d) helium:arrow_forward
- What are the rules for writing the molecular formula of a simple covalent compound?arrow_forwardWhen do parentheses appear in the formulas of ionic compounds? Do Roman Numerals appear in the names of ionic or covalent compounds? Explain why they are used. Do Greek Prefixes appear in the names of ionic or covalent compounds? Explain why they are used.arrow_forwardFor each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular compound held together by covalent chemical bonds. If the elements will form a molecular compound, check the box and enter the chemical formula and name of the compound. (If the elements will form more than one molecular compound, use the compound with the fewest total number of atoms.) You may assume all chemical bonds are single bonds, not double or triple bonds. element pair alo molecular compound will form a element #1 element #2 molecular chemical name compound formula Ar carbon iodine hydrogen bromine lithium охудеnarrow_forward
