Lewis structures for the perchlorate ion (ClO4−) can be drawn with all single bonds or with one, two, or three double bonds. Dra

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The most important resonance structure is 4 (attached picture). Its bon order is $\frac{7}{4}$ or $1\frac{3}{4}$ .

Explanation:

A picture with 4 forms of the perchlorate structure is attached. The first structure has simple bonds. The second structure contains a double bond, the third structure has two double bonds and the fourth structure has three double bonds.

Formal charge = group number of the periodic table - number of bonds (number of bonding electrons / 2) - number of non-shared electrons (lone pairs)

The formal charges in the first structure is +3 in chlorine and -1 in oxygen.

The formal charges in the second structure is +2 in chlorine, -1 in oxygen and 0 in the double bond oxygen.

The formal charges in the third structure is +1 in chlorine, -1 in the single bond oxygens and 0 in the double bond oxygens.

The formal charges in the fourth structure is 0 in chlorine, -1 in the single bond oxygen and 0 in the double bond oxygens.

The most important resonance structure is given by:

Most atoms have 0 formal charge.

Lowest magnitude of formal charges.

If there is a negative formal charge, it's on the most electronegative atom.

Hence, the fourth structure is the mosr important.

The bond order of the structure is:

Total number of bonds: 7

Total number of bond groups: 4

Bond order= $\frac{7}{4} =1\frac{3}{4}$

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

$In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)$

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : $In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : $Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s)$ ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}$

$3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)$

Net reaction: $2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

$2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)$

What is the significance of the Galápagos Islands to the theory of evolution

Aloiza [94]

The importance of the Galapagos to Darwin theory is chances Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island .
A big part of reason it is so famous is because of Darwin finches.
which are 12 <span>species ,also the Darwin theory is only gradually accepted because people don't believe in them today</span>
