Lewis structures can be used to understand why some molecules react in certain ways. Write the Lewis structures for the reactants and products in the reactions described below. a. Nitrogen dioxide dimerizes to produce dinitrogen tetroxide. b. Boron trihydride accepts a pair of electrons from ammonia, forming \(\mathrm{BH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{3} .\) Give a possible explanation for why these two reactions occur.
Use bond energies to estimate \(\Delta H\) for the combustion of one mole of acetylene: $$\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\frac{5}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)$$
Write electron configurations for the most stable ion formed by each of the elements Te, Cl, Sr, and Li (when in stable ionic compounds).
Use the following data (in kJ/mol) to estimate \(\Delta H\) for the reaction \(S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)\) . Include an estimate of uncertainty. \(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{S}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{S}(g) & \Delta H=277 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \\ \mathrm{S}(g)+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{S}^{-}(g) & \Delta H=-200 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned}\) Assume that all values are known to \(\pm 1 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)
Without using Fig. 8.3, predict which bond in each of the following groups will be the most polar. a. \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{Si}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{Sn}-\mathrm{H}\) b. \(\mathrm{Al}-\mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{Ga}-\mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{In}-\mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{Tl}-\mathrm{Br}\) c.\(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) or \(\mathrm{Si}-\mathrm{O}\) d. \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{F}\) or \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{Cl}\)
