Problem 34E

How does the electron sea model explain the conductivity of metals? The malleability and ductility of metals?

ANSWER:

Solution:Step-1 (a) Here the bond angles of the molecules vary in according to the presence of lone pairs electrons on the central atom. In ClO , the central atom is Cl atom and in NO , the - 2 2 central atom is N atom. 2 5 2 2 3 2 2 417l [Ne] 3s 3p 7N 1s 2s 2p 8 1s 2s 2p The Lewis structure of both the molecules areIn case of ClO there2re 2 bonded pairs atom and 2 nonbonded pairs of electrons on the centralatom . Hence its steric number will beSteric number(SN) = (number of atoms bonded to central atom) +(number of lone pair on centralatom) = 2+2=4A molecule , having steric number 4 with 2 bonded pairs and 2 nonbonded electrons on thecentral atom the electron domain geometry will be tetrahedral, molecular geometry is bentstructure with bo
