The lattice energies of \(\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}, \mathrm{FeCl}_{2},\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) are (in no particular order) \(-2631,-5359,\) and -14,774 kJ/mol. Match the appropriate formula to each lattice energy. Explain.
Write Lewis structures that obey the octet rule for each of the following molecules and ions. (In each case the first atom listed is the central atom.) a. \(\mathrm{POCl}_{3}, \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}, \mathrm{XeO}_{4}, \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-}, \mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}\) b. \(\mathrm{NF}_{3}, \mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{PO}_{3}^{3-}, \mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) c. \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}, \mathrm{SCl}_{2}, \mathrm{PCl}_{2}^{-}\) d. Considering your answers to parts a, b, and c, what conclusions can you draw concerning the structures of species containing the same number of atoms and the same number of valence electrons?
Without using Fig. \(3-4,\) predict which bond in each of the following groups will be the most polar. a. \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{Si}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{Sn}-\mathrm{H}\) \(\mathbf{b .}\) Al- \(\mathbf{B r}, \mathbf{G a}-\mathbf{B r}, \operatorname{In}-\mathbf{B r}, \mathbf{T}-\mathbf{B r}\) c. \(C-O\) or \(S i-O\) d. \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{F}\) or \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{Cl}\)
Oxidation of the cyanide ion produces the stable cyanate ion, OCN \(^{-}\). The fulminate ion, \(\mathrm{CNO}^{-}\), on the other hand, is very unstable. Fulminate salts explode when struck; \(\mathrm{Hg}(\mathrm{CNO})_{2}\) is used in blasting caps. Write the Lewis structures and assign formal charges for the cyanate and fulminate ions. Why is the fulminate ion so unstable? (C is the central atom in OCN - and \(\mathrm{N}\) is the central atom in \(\mathrm{CNO}^{-} .\) )
The formulas and common names for several substances are given below. Give the systematic names for these substances. a. sugar of lead b. blue vitrol c. quicklime d. Epsom salts e. milk of magnesia f. gypsum g. laughing gas \(\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)_{2}\) \(\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\) CaO \(\mathrm{MgSO}_{4}\) \(\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\) \(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}\) \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
