Concept explainers
Interpretation: The structure of azide ion has to be drawn and check whether the ions has linear or bent structure.
Concept introduction:
Carbon molecules show two properties that makes it different from the rest. Tetravalency and catenation is the property shown by carbon molecules.
The atom form bonds with many atoms of the same element to form long chains is known as catenation.
Nitrogen atom can form chain to some extent. Azide ion is one of example in which three nitrogen atoms linked in a double bond chain.
Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the
It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

- Draw all of the Lewis structures of O22- which obey the octet rule and use this Lewis structure or these resonance structures to predict how many covalent bonds connect each oxygen atom in the real structure to the central O atom. Assume that the octet rule is followed for the O atom when you draw your structure(s). Pick the correct statement from the choices below. a) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1 covalent bonds. b) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.33 covalent bonds. c) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds. d) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.67 covalent bonds. e) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.25 covalent bonds.arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure for the N H 4 + ion.arrow_forwardWhich of the following may form +1 or +3 ions, depending on the conditions?

- Although carbon has four bonds in stable molecules, sometimes reactive carbon intermediates that contain carbon atoms without four bonds are formed for very short time periods. Examples of these unstable intermediates include the methyl carbocation (CH 3) + and the methyl carbanion (CH 3) −. Draw Lewis structures for both unstable ions and predict the shape around carbon.arrow_forwardWhat is the shape of a molecule of SiH2O?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a Lewis structure and a 3-D structure of a molecule?arrow_forward
- A nonmetal like oxygen forms both ionic and covalent bonds, depending on the identity of the element to which it bonds. What type of bonding is observed in CaO and CO 2? Explain why two different types of bonding are observed.arrow_forwardAmmonia is an important chemical used in the production of fertilizer. Industrial production of ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen is difficult because of the energy required to cleave the N-N triple bond. Consider the balanced reaction of ammonia: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2 NH3 (9). This reaction has a value of K = 4.3 x 10-2 at 25 °C. Part A Estimate the AH for this reaction using bond energies.
