Draw the Lewis structures of the molecules below and use them to answer the following questions:

Chemistry

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

Answer:

If NO₂ molecule written is for Nitrogen dioxide, then, four of the five molecules presented above have no dipole moment and only one of the five molecules, Ozone (0₃), has a dipole moment.

But if the NO₂ molecule is for nitrite ion, NO₂⁻, then three out of the five molecules presented have no dipole moment and only the Nitrite ion, NO₂⁻, and Ozone, 0₃, have dipole moments.

Explanation:

- The Lewis Structure for the molecules are drawn in the image attached to this answer.

The bond dipole moment uses the idea of electric dipole moment to measure the polarity of a chemical bond within a molecule. It occurs whenever there is a separation of positive and negative charges. Polarity occurs due to differences in electronegativity.

1) Browne or Trihydridoboron, BH₃ - No dipole moment in the molecule.

Each B-H bond in BH₃ is polar/forms a dipole because the B and H atoms have different electronegativities. But, the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar which is symmetrical, so the dipoles/bond polarities cancel. The resulting BH₃ molecule is non-polar.

2)Nitrogen dioxide, NO₂ has no dipole moment.

Nitrite ion, NO₂⁻ -> Has a dipole moment.

There are two NO₂ molecules, the Nitrogen dioxide molecule is linear and has no dipole moment, but the NO₂⁻ ion is a polar molecule. The geometry of the molecule is bent because of a non-bonding pair of electrons. The bent geometry causes the polarity and subsequent dipole moment.

3) Sulfur hexafluoride, SF₆ - no dipole moment.

Sulfur hexafluoride, abbreviated as SF₆, is a nonpolar molecule. SF₆ has an octahedral molecular geometry, which means that the sulfur molecule has six fluorine atoms surrounding it. While each individual bond is polar, there is no net effect as symmetrical nature of this octahedral molecular structure means the dipole moments all cancel out, meaning that the molecule is nonpolar.

4) Ozone, O₃ - has a dipole moment.

O₃ is polar because there are 18 valence electrons, so the lewis structure would position the central O connected to one single bond and one double bond to connect the other O's. The lone pair on the central O would also mean the molecule was bent, thus making it polar. Therefore, Ozone is a polar molecule with a dipole moment of 0.53 D. The molecule can be represented as a resonance hybrid with two contributing structures, each with a single bond on one side and double bond on the other.

5) Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl₅

PCl₅ has a symmetrical geometry, the vector sum of the dipole moments of the different P-Cl bonds cancel each other. Therefore, the overall dipole moment of PCl₅ becomes 0.

Hope this helps!

If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".

Explain why copper is used for the<br> roofs of some buildings and magnesium is not.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Because of the less reactivity of copper.

Explanation:

As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.

Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.
