A resident expert on electronegativity comes up to visit with you. He makes two claims (seen below) about electronegativity with relation to covalent bonding. Is the expert correct or can you refute him with your knowledge of electronegativity?
(a) If a diatomic molecule is made up of atoms X and Y, which have different electronegativities, the molecule must be polar.
(b) The farther two atoms are apart in a bond, the larger the dipole moment will be.
Consider the formate ion, HCO2", which is the anion
formed when formic acid loses an H* ion. The H and
the two O atoms are bonded to the central C atom.
(a) Draw the best Lewis structure(s) for this ion.
(b) Are resonance structures needed to describe the
structure? Explain briefly
(c) Would you predict that the C-O bond lengths in
the formate ion would be longer or shorter relative to
those in CO2? Explain briefly
(a) Complete the Lewis structure for vinyl chloride by
showing all unshared pairs of electrons.
