Chapter 1, Problem 1.40AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The use of dipole moment of water to prove that it is not a linear molecule is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is defined as the charge separation between two atoms in a covalent bond or between two ions in an ionic bond. It is used to determine the polarity of atoms or ions. If the value of dipole moment is zero, then the molecule is said to be non-polar, and if the value of dipole moment is not zero, then the molecule is said to be polar and possess permanent dipole moment.

Use the simulation to perform the following exercises for a real molecule. You may need to rotate the molecules in three dimensions to see certain dipoles.(a) Sketch the bond dipoles and molecular dipole (if any) for O3. Explain your observations.(b) Look at the bond dipoles for NH3. Use these dipoles to predict whether N or H is more electronegative.(c) Predict whether there should be a molecular dipole for NH3 and, if so, in which direction it will point. Check the molecular dipole box to test your hypothesis.
1.38,Assuming the following species consist of ions, write the valence electron configura- tions and (if appropriate) the Lewis symbols of the cations in (a) UF; (b) WF,; (c) SCI,: (d) CIO,.
There is persuasive evidence for the brief existence of the unstable molecule OPCl. (a) Draw a Lewis diagram for this molecule in which the octet rule is satisfied on all atoms and the formal charges on all atoms are zero. (b) The compound OPCl reacts with oxygen to give O2PCl. Draw a Lewis diagram of O2PCl for which all formal charges are equal to zero. Draw a Lewis diagram in which the octet rule is satisfied on all atoms.
