- Specify whether the two structures are resonance contributors to the same resonance hybrid. Be sure to explain your reasoning. If yes, be sure to specify which is preferred and why. H2C=NH2arrow_forwardThiocyanic acid (HSCN) is an inorganic acid (pKa = 1.1 at 25 °C) that can be classified as “strong” largely due to resonance stabilization of its conjugate base, thiocyanate (SCN– ). In the space provided below, draw Lewis electron dot structures of SCN- and all of its important resonance forms.arrow_forwardList the bond lenghts between the carbon and the oxygen atoms for the carboxylic acid and carboxylate ion and rank from shortest to longest. carboxylic acid carboxylate ion c-o c=o provide an explanation for the differences in the bond lengths and the orientation of the dipole moment between the acid and ion.arrow_forward
- Select the bonds in the 3D representation of methyl urethane below that are multiple bonds. (Hint: Consider the number of bonds attached to an atom in the image compared to the normal valence of that atom. In a valid structure, the number of bonds to an atom will equal the valence of that atom.) • Gray = C: white = H; red = 0; blue = N; dark green = Cl; brown = Br; light green = F; purple = 1; yellow = S: orange = P. • Double click to select bonds. You can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel (or pinch to zoom on touch screens). ●arrow_forwardRank the following in order of decreasing importance as contributing structures to the resonance hybrid of formaldehyde, H₂CO. :0: Multiple Choice I>>||| I> ||| > | #>I> | 11 E III 200arrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?arrow_forward
- Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing dipole moment. H H H H O|||||| O|||||II || 1>||| O I>II>III H ||| ||||arrow_forwardLike 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 strength. (Indicate the order with the numbers from the drop-down list, starting with 1 for the compound with the smallest bond strength to 5 for the compound with the largest bond strength.)

- 7 The pentadienyl radical, H2C“CH¬CH“CH¬CH2#, has its unpaired electron delocalized over three carbon atoms.(a) Use resonance forms to show which three carbon atoms bear the unpaired electron.arrow_forwardWhat steps would you need to take to calculate the pKa1 and pKa2 of something? For example: hydrosulfuric acid H2S(aq) (-38.6 ΔH^0 f kJ mol^-1).arrow_forwardHydrogen cyanide can be catalytically reduced with hydro-gen to form methylamine.
