Question
All the following statements about resonance are true except
A single Lewis formula does not provide an adequate representation of the bonding.
Resonance describes the oscillation and vibration of electrons.
Resonance describes a more stable situation than does any one contributing resonance formula.
Resonance describes the bonding as intermediate between the contributing resonance formulas.
The contributing resonance formulas differ only in the arrangement of the electrons.
2)
3. In the Lewis dot formula for ICl2
A single Lewis formula does not provide an adequate representation of the bonding.
Resonance describes the oscillation and vibration of electrons.
Resonance describes a more stable situation than does any one contributing resonance formula.
Resonance describes the bonding as intermediate between the contributing resonance formulas.
The contributing resonance formulas differ only in the arrangement of the electrons.
Explanation / Answer
1) Resonance describes a more stable situation than does any one contributing resonance formula.
2) 3/2 = 1.5
3)Actually it is iodine dichloride ion (ICl2-) whcih is formed b/w Iodide ion and two chlorine atoms.
There are 7 + (2x7) + 1 = 22 valence electrons.The Lewis structure will have a linear geometry with 3 lone pairs are present on Iodine along with two single covalent bonds with chlorine on both sides
4) S2
