Get started for freeExcept for nitrogen, the elements of Group 5A(15) all form pentafluorides, and most form pentachlorides. The chlorine atoms of PCl5 can be replaced with fluorine atoms one at a time to give, successively, , …, .
Which of the five fluorine-containing molecules have no dipole moment?
In what situation is the name of the molecular shape the same as the name of the electron-group arrangement?
A gaseous compound has a composition by mass of 24.8% carbon, 2.08% hydrogen, and 73.1% chlorine. At STP, the gas has a density of 4.3 g/L. Draw a Lewis structure that satisfies these facts. Would another structure also satisfy them? Explain
Draw a Lewis structure for a resonance form of each ion with the lowest possible formal charges, show the charges, and give oxidation numbers of the atoms:
(a)
(b)
Like several other bonds, carbon-oxygen bonds have lengths and strengths that depend on the bond order. Draw Lewis structures for the following species, and arrange them in order of increasing carbon-oxygen bond length and then by increasing carbon-oxygen bond strength:
