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}

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

Z_{eff} = Z -S

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell.  Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.  

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as  

Z_{eff} = Z -S

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge  

Z - atomic number

When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, the directions say to put the 255 grams of filled pasta into 3 quarts of boiling water. why
kondaur [170]
<span>When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, you should use three quarts of water instead of one so that the raviolis have room to move around in the boiling water and so that while they are moving around, they will not stick to each other or the pan.</span>
