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.

- No 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_forwardAnswer 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_forwardNow, we will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom. Select 2 fluorine atoms. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom? Is a fluorine atom a metal or a non-metal? Did the combination of these atoms create a covalent or ionic bond? How are the valence electrons organized to form a bond between these atoms? How is this different from the ionic bonds formed in the previous part of the activity?arrow_forward
- The illustration to the left represents a mixture of nitrogen ( blue ) and hydrogen ( light blue ) molecules.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.arrow_forwardUse your knowledge of the correct number of covalent bonds to predict the formula for a simple compound formed between iodine and the following elements.

- Which ionic compound is expected to form from combiningthe following pairs of elements? (a) barium and fluorine,(b) cesium and chlorine, (c) lithium and nitrogen, (d) aluminumand oxygen.arrow_forwardNa+ forms an “ionic bond” (i.e. an electrostatic attraction) with the OCN− ion. (a) Draw the full Lewis structure of the ionic compound. Be sure to show how you have derived this. (The ionic compound as a whole, not just OCN-) (b) Which atom in the OCN− anion is the sodium cation most likely to attract? Explain.arrow_forwardCovalent 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_forward
