Nitrous oxide \(\left(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) has three possible Lewis structures: Given the following bond lengths, $$ \begin{array}{llll} \mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N} & 167 \mathrm{pm} & \mathrm{N}=\mathrm{O} & 115 \mathrm{pm} \\ \mathrm{N}=\mathrm{N} & 120 \mathrm{pm} & \mathrm{N}-\mathrm{O} & 147 \mathrm{pm} \\ \mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{N} & 110 \mathrm{pm} & & \end{array} $$ rationalize the observations that the \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N}\) bond length in \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) is \(112 \mathrm{pm}\) and that the \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{O}\) bond length is \(119 \mathrm{pm}\). Assign formal charges to the resonance structures for \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\). Can you eliminate any of the resonance structures on the basis of formal charges? Is this consistent with observation?
Which of the following statements is(are) true? Correct the false statements. a. The molecules \(\mathrm{SeS}_{3}, \mathrm{SeS}_{2}, \mathrm{PCl}_{5}, \mathrm{TeCl}_{4}, \mathrm{ICl}_{3}\), and \(\mathrm{XeCl}_{2}\) all exhibit at least one bond angle which is approximately \(120^{\circ}\) b. The bond angle in \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) should be similar to the bond angle in \(\mathrm{CS}_{2}\) or \(\mathrm{SCl}_{2}\) c. Of the compounds \(\mathrm{CF}_{4}, \mathrm{KrF}_{4}\), and \(\mathrm{SeF}_{4}\), only \(\mathrm{SeF}_{4}\) exhibits an overall dipole moment (is polar). d. Central atoms in a molecule adopt a geometry of the bonded atoms and lone pairs about the central atom in order to maximize electron repulsions.
Give an example of an ionic compound where both the anion and the cation are isoelectronic with each of the following noble gases. a. Ne c. \(\mathrm{Kr}\) b. \(\mathrm{Ar}\) d. Xe
Which of the following statements is(are) true? Correct the false statements. a. It is impossible to satisfy the octet rule for all atoms in \(\mathrm{XeF}_{2}\). b. Because \(\mathrm{SF}_{4}\) exists, \(\mathrm{OF}_{4}\) should also exist because oxygen is in the same family as sulfur. c. The bond in \(\mathrm{NO}^{+}\) should be stronger than the bond in \(\mathrm{NO}^{-}\). d. As predicted from the two Lewis structures for ozone, one oxygen-oxygen bond is stronger than the other oxygenoxygen bond.
Without using Fig. \(8.3\), predict the order of increasing electronegativity in each of the following groups of elements. a. \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{N}, \mathrm{O}\) c. \(\mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{Sn}\) b. \(\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{Se}, \mathrm{Cl}\) d. Tl, S, Ge
