Formal charges are based on Lewis structures m which electrons are considered to be shared equally between covalently bonded atoms Actually polarization of N—H bonds m ammonium ion and of B—H bonds m borohydride leads to some transfer of positive and negative charge respectively to the hydrogens... 

The opening paragraph of this chapter emphasized that the connection between structure and properties is what chemistry is all about We have just seen one such con nection From the Lewis structure of a molecule we can use electronegativity to tell us about the polarity of bonds and combine that with VSEPR to predict whether the mol ecule has a dipole moment In the next several sections we 11 see a connection between structure and chemical reactivity as we review acids and bases... 

Electron Delocalization in the Conjugate Base With a of —1 4 nitnc acid is almost completely ionized m water If we look at the Lewis structure of nitric acid m light of what we have said about inductive effects we can see why The N atom m nitric acid IS not only electronegative m its own right but bears a formal charge of +1 which enhances its ability to attract electrons away from the —OH group... 

This chapter sets the stage for all of the others by reminding us that the relationship between structure and properties is what chemistry is all about It begins with a review of Lewis structures moves to a discussion of the Arrhenius Brpnsted-Lowry and Lewis pictures of acids and bases and the effects of structure on acidity and basicity... 

Electron delocalization m the conjugate base usually expressed via resonance between Lewis structures increases acidity... 

Based on its structure and valence electron count, draw a Lewis structure or series of Lewis structures for diborane Examine the bond density surface. Does it substantiate 01 refute your speculation ... 

Nucleophiles can also act as acids and bases, and this behavior substantially alters their nucleophilicity. At pH 5, trimethylamine exists mainly as its conjugate acid, trimethylammonium cation. First draw a Lewis structure, and then examine the electrostatic potential for trimethylammonium ion. On the basis of the map, which is the better nucleophile, the cation or the corresponding neutral amine At pH 12, phenol exists mainly as its conjugate base, phenoxide anion. First draw a Lewis structure (or series of Lewis structures), and then examine the electrostatic potential map for phenoxide anion. Which is the better nucleophile, phenoxide or phenol ... 

Phenol has different chemical properties from those of typical alcohols. Display the electrostatic potential map for phenol. Does this suggest that phenol is likely to be a stronger or weaker acid than any of the compounds discussed above Compare the electrostatic potential map for 4-nitrophenol to that for phenol. What effect does substitution by nitro have on acid strength Explain your result by considering charge delocalization in the conjugate base. Draw all reasonable Lewis structures for phenoxide anion and for 4-nitrophenoxide anion. Which is more delocalized Is this consistent with experimental pKa s ...

Below are two different Lewis structures for nitrous acid (HN02). Which is foe better Lewis structure based only on formal charge ... 

The uracil molecule is one of foe bases in DNA. Estimate foe approximate values of foe indicated bond angles. Its skeleton (not its Lewis structure) is gfven below. 

The individual formal charges are closest to zero in the first column the atom arrangement NCS is therefore the most likely one. The same conclusion would be reached if we considered Lewis structures based on the bonding pattern N=C—S. 

Draw the Lewis structure for each of the following species and identify each as a Lewis acid or Lewis base ... 

Write the Lewis structures of each reactant, identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base, and then write the Lewis... 

In that reaction does boric acid act as a Lewis acid, a I ewis base, or neither Justify your answer by using Lewis structures of boric acid and its conjugate base. 

Lewis, G. N., 60, 64, 398 Lewis acid, 398, 473, 671 Lewis base, 398, 473 Lewis structure, 65 writing, 67 Lewis symbol, 60 Lewis theory, limitations of, 115... 

Write the chemical formula and the Lewis structure and draw a molecular picture of each of the following (a) the conjugate acid of NH3 (b) the conjugate base of HCO2 H and (c) the conjugate acid of HSOq-. 

The Lewis structures verity that each species identified as a Lewis base possesses lone pairs of electrons and that the Lewis acids have orbitals available to accept electrons. 

C21-0030. The reaction between CO2 and H2 O to form carbonic acid (H2 CO3) can be described in two steps formation of a Lewis acid-base adduct followed by Brcjmsted proton transfer. Draw Lewis structures illustrating these two steps, showing electron and proton movement by curved arrows.
