Question
Chapter 21, Problem 102SCQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Lewis structure of the boric acid and the hybridization of the boron atom in boric acid to be determined, in addition to that hydrogen bonding of the molecule are to be explained
Concept introduction:
- a) Lewis structure: Lewis structure of the compound is a structure, which describes the structure with all the bonds and the lone pair electrons present in the molecule.
- b) Hybridization: hybridization is a concept of mixing atomic orbitals, which is useful in explaining the geometry and the structure of the molecule.
- c) Hydrogen bonding: hydrogen bond is a bond between more electronegative atoms (like N, O, and F, etc.) and the hydrogen atom, which is connected to more electronegative atom of the other molecule.
