(c) RnCl2
(d) BeCl2
(e) ICl4Sample Exercise 8.9 – Resonance Structures
Describe the electron arrangement in the nitrite anion (NO2-) using the localized electron model.
Draw the Lewis structure for ozone (O3).
Sample Exercise 8.10 – Formal Charge
Give possible Lewis structures for XeO3, an explosive compound of xenon. Which Lewis structure or structures are most appropriate
according to the formal charges?
Sample Exercise 8.11 – Prediction of Molecular Structure I
Describe the molecular structure of the water molecule.
Sample Exercise 8.12 – Prediction of Molecular Structure II
When phosphorus reacts w/ excess chlorine gas, the compound phosphorus pentachloride (PCl 5) is formed. In the gaseous and liquid
states, this substance consists of PCl5 molecules, but in the solid state it consists of a 1:1 mixture of PCl4+ and PCl6- ions. Predict the
geometric structures of PCl5, PCl4+, and PCl6-.
Sample Exercise 8.13 – Prediction of Molecular Structure III
Because noble gases have filled s and p valence orbitals, they were not expected to be chemically reactive. In fact, for many years
these elements were called inert gases because of this supposed inability to form compounds. However, in the early 1960’s several
compounds of krypton, xenon, and radon were synthesized. For example, a team at the Argonne National Laboratory produced the
stable colorless compound xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4). Predict its structure and whether it has a dipole moment.
