Double bonds Lewis structures

Some molecules can t be adequately represented by a single Lewis structure. For example, two valid Lewis structures can be drawn for the anion (HCONH). One stmcture has a negatively charged N atom and a C - O double bond the other has a negatively charged O atom and a C - N double bond. These structures are called resonance structures or resonance forms. A doubleheaded arrow is used to separate two resonance structures.

The Lewis formula for ozone, however, is inconsistent with the experimentally determined structure. On the basis of the Lewis formula, we would expect ozone to have two different O—O bond lengths, one of them similar to the O—O single bond distance of 147 pm in hydrogen peroxide (HO—OH) and the other similar to the 121 pm O—O double bond distance in O2. In fact, both bond distances are the same (128 pm)— somewhat shorter than a single bond, somewhat longer than a double bond. The structure... 

Lewis s concept of shared electron parr bonds allows for four electron double bonds and SIX electron triple bonds Carbon dioxide (CO2) has two carbon-oxygen double bonds and the octet rule is satisfied for both carbon and oxygen Similarly the most stable Lewis structure for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) has a carbon-nitrogen triple bond... 

Multiple bonds are very common m organic chemistry Ethylene (C2H4) contains a carbon-carbon double bond m its most stable Lewis structure and each carbon has a completed octet The most stable Lewis structure for acetylene (C2H2) contains a carbon-carbon triple bond Here again the octet rule is satisfied... 

Molecular models such as the one shown often do not explicitly show double and triple bonds Write a Lewis structure for this hydrocarbon showing the location of any multiple bonds Specify the hybndization state of each carbon (You can view this model in more detail on Learn mg By Modeling)... 

To deal with circumstances such as the bonding in ozone, the notion of resonance between Lewis structures was developed. According to the resonance concept, when more than one Lewis structure may be written for a molecule, a single structure is insufficient to describe it. Rather, the true structure has an electron distribution that is a hybrid of all the possible Lewis structures that can be written for the molecule. In the case of ozone, two equivalent Lewis structures may be written. We use a double-headed aiTow to represent resonance between these two Lewis structures. 

Is the double bond incorporated into allene significantly shorter, significantly longer or about the same length as the bond in ethene Draw a Lewis structure for allene to justify your conclusion. 

Draw Lewis structures for the possible carbocations resulting from protonation of the double bond in 3-methyl-1-butene, and decide which is favored. (Check your result using available energy data for C5H11 carbocations.) What would be the product of bromide addition to the more stable cation Is this the observed product ... 

The first step in the addition of an electrophile such as HBr to an alkyne involves protonation and subsequent formation of an intermediate vinyl cation. Where does propyne protonate Compare energies of 1-methylvinyl and 2-methylvinyl cations. Which is more stable Why Measure CC bond distance in the more stable cation. Does the cation incorporate a full triple bond (as in propyne) or a double bond (as in propene). Examine atomic charges and electrostatic potential maps to locate the positive charge in the two cations. Is the more stable ion the one in which the charge is better delocalized Use the charges together with information about the ions geometry to draw Lewis structures (or a series of Lewis structures) for 1-methylvinyl and 2-methylvinyl cations. 

Examine the geometry of methylbenzyne. Measure carbon-earbon distances. Which 7C bonds are deloealized and whieh are localized Is there really a triple bond (Compare bond distance to triple bond in hexa-l,5-dien-3-yne and to partial double bonds in benzene). Are you able to draw a single Lewis structure whieh adequately represents the geometry of the molecule ... 

Examine the geometry of formamide. Is the CN bond shorter than expected for a normal single bond (in methylamine), and closer to that expected for a full double bond (in methyleneimine) Is the CO bond longer than that expected in a carbonyl compound (in formaldehyde), perhaps closer to that appropriate for a single bond (in methanol) Also, compare the electrostatic potential map for formamide with those of formaldehyde and methylamine. Is the CO bond in formamide more or less polar than that in formaldehyde Is the CN bond in formamide more or less polar than that in methylamine Draw whatever Lewis structures are needed to properly describe the geometry and charge distribution of formamide. 

Sixteen electrons are required to give each atom an octet (four for S and six for each O). There is a deficiency of two electrons. This means that a single bond in the skeleton must be converted to a double bond. The Lewis structure of S02 is... 

In certain cases, the Lewis structure does not adequately describe the properties of the ion or molecule that it represents. Consider for example, the S02 structure derived in Example 7.2. This structure implies that there are two different kinds of sulfur-to-oxygen bonds in S02. One of these appears to be a single bond, the other a double bond. Yet experiment shows that there is only one kind of bond in the molecule. 

It is possible to write a simple Lewis structure for foe S042- ion, involving only single bonds, which follows foe octet rule. However, Linus Pauling and others have suggested an alternative structure, involving double bonds, in which foe sulfur atom is surrounded by six electron pairs. 

Lewis acids, results in the formation of isopulegol (43) with greater than 98% diastereoselectivity isopulegol (43), wherein all of the ring substituents are equatorially oriented, arises naturally from a chairlike transition state structure in which the C-3 methyl group, the coordinated C-l aldehyde carbonyl, and the A6,7 double bond are all equatorial (see 48). A low-temperature crystallization raises the chemical and enantiomeric purity of isopulegol (43) close to 100%. Finally, hydrogenation of the double bond in 43 completes the synthesis of (-)-menthol (1).
