Answer:

The structures are shown below.

Explanation:

When the acid reacts with water, it loses one proton (H⁺) and forms a base, which is the conjugate base of its acid.

The formal charge of an atom can be calculated by:

FC = X - (Y + Z/2)

Where X is the valence electrons of the neutral atom, Y is the unshared electrons, and Z is the shared electrons in the molecule.

a) When HCl deprotonates, it forms Cl⁻ as the conjugate base. The neutral atom Cl has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1 The structure is shown below in figure a.

b) When Hbr deprotonates it forms Br- as the conjugate base. The neutral atom has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1. The structure is shown below in figure b.

c) When CH3COOH loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base CH3COO⁻. The carbon as 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The first carbon make simple bonds with each hydrogen and with the second carbon, and so, all the electrons are shared, and it has FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0, as so the hydrogens have FC = 1 - (0 + 2/2) = 0.

The second carbon does 1 simple bond with the first carbon, a double bond with one oxygen, and a simple bond with the other oxygen, and so doesn't have unshared electrons, and FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0.

The first oxygen does a double bond with the carbon, and so it has 4 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0. The second oxygen does a simple bond with the carbon, and so has 5 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (5 + 2/2) = 0.

The structure is shown in figure c.

What minimum energy is required to excite a vibration in HF?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The energy of a vibrating molecule is quantized much like the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy levels of a vibrating molecule are given by the equation: En=(n+21)hv where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2, ... and v is the frequency of vibration.

Explanation:

hope it helps.

have a wonderful day!
