Explain why resonance structures are used instead of Lewis structure to correctly model certain molecules

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The bonding in certain compounds or ions can not be thoroughly explained in terms of a single Lewis structure.

The observed properties of the compound or ion indicate that it can not be entirely represented by a single Lewis structure. For example, all C-C bond  in benzene are equal.

When this is the case, a number of structures called resonance structures are invoked in order to satisfactorily explain the properties of the particular chemical specie under study.

I know the answer to 13 is B and 14 is D. I just need to know why the correct answers are correct
solmaris [256]

In question 13 answer B is the correct one since a catalyst is a chemical that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process. In this way, a catalyst accelerates a reaction by decreasing the energy barrier necessary for the reaction to occur or by changing the reaction mechanism. The most common types of catalysts are enzymes, acid base catalysts and heterogeneous catalysts, mostly composed of solids in which the reactants adhere.

In the reaction you have in the question, they use an acid catalyst, H3O+. This catalyst changes the reaction mechanism of 2-butene in 1-butene without being consumed, since it appears at the beginning and at the end of the transformation of 2 butene into 1-butene. The reaction mechanism would be the following

In question 14 the correct answer is option B since the law of velocity of a reaction will be governed by the slow step of the mechanism through which it occurs. In the slow step the chemical species have a harder time transforming because they need more energy to do it, then they will do it in a slower way and the reaction will take longer to occur. Therefore, the slow step is the one that will determine the total speed of the reaction and the speed law must be in terms of that process. The speed of the other two steps is so fast that it is negligible.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1: the sciencetific name of a giant squid is called Architeuthis

2: i dont know I think it says diet but: Giant squid mostly eat deep water fishes and other squids.
3: the range of a Giant squid can be found in oceans around the world at depths of at least 2,950 feet, but their exact  range is unknown.

4, characteristics,

1: it has two large fins attached to its mantle.

2: the giant squid have many unique features, such as their ability to produce 'ink' to distract and deter predators.  

3:


facts,

1: Their eyes are the largest eyes in the animal kingdom and are about 10 inches

2: Their big eyes help them to spy objects in dark depths where most other animals would see nothing

3: Until 2005, nobody had ever seen a giant squid that was alive.

4: According to the stories, an huge squid would wrap its arms around a whale, causing a terrible fight to start. 
5: Giant squid have small fins at the rear of their mantles used for locomotion. 


Human IMPACT

Not only can squids and octopuses sense sound, but as it turns out, these and other so-called cephalopods might be harmed by growing noise pollution in our oceans—from sources such as offshore drilling, ship motors, sonar use and pile driving.
