Answer #1

d) Which of the following molecules exhibits delocalized pi bonding?

Answer: SO2 (Oxygen is more polar than sulfur), delocalization means pi bonds movement.

c) What are the total number of sigma bonds and the total number of pi bonds in HCN?

Answer: H-C≡N, 2 sigma bonds + 2 pi bonds

b) What is the hybridization of the xenon atom in XeF4?

Answer: sp3d2 hybridization, using VSEPR theory

Describe the bonding of the central atom in the NO2^-1 ion using Valence Bond Theory 1.) Sketch the hybrid orbitals of the central atoms. Show/describe what nitrogen electrons in which orbitals overlap with oxygen electrons in which orbitals. 2.) Write hybridizationa and bonding scheme for the central atom in the NO2^-1 ion. Sketch the molecule, including overllapping orbitals and label all bonds ( pi or sigma.)

Natural Bond Orbitals Natural Bond Orbitals (NBOs) convert molecular orbitals to the form of localised bonding orbitals that correspond to Lewis structures. Natural bond orbitals attempt to provide the most accurate natural Lewis structure. The NBOs are localised and are thus different to MOs - it is important not to over-interpret NBOs - NBOs give an indication of bonding and electronic structure in the framework of Lewis structures. In this exercise you will explore the bonding description of methanol from...

The greenhouse effect is caused by gases in the atmosphere that trap heat. We know that the atmosphere is made up of 21% O2 and 78% N2. The other 1% consists of traces of CO2, NO2, CO, NO, O3, N2O, CH4, and CFC’s like CFCl3, CCl2F2, and CCl3CHF2. A) Draw the Lewis structure of N2, NO2, and CFCl3. Indicate the total number of valence electrons in each structure. Submit a photo of your drawing with your ID card.
