Question

Write the Lewis structure for each ion. Include resonance structures if necessary and assign formal charges to all atoms. If necessary, expand the octet on the central atom to lower formal charge.

a. PO43-                 b. CN-                         c. SO32-                 d. ClO2-

Solution

Solution:Step-1(a)Bond order:- Bond order is the number of bonding pairs of electrons between two atoms.In a covalent bond between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bondhas a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three, and so on.Bond length:-Bond length is defined as the distance between the centers of two covalentlybonded atoms. The length of the bond is determined by the number of bonded electrons (thebond order). The higher the bond order, the stronger the pull between the two atoms and theshorter the bond length.Bond energy:-Bond energy (E) or bond enthalpy (H) is the measure of bond strength in achemical bond. IUPAC defines bond energy as the average value of t
