B. For CVOH, the C-N bonds fall between the bond lengths found in and (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
C. For CV+, the C-C bonds fall between the bond lengths found in and (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
D. For CV+, the C-N bonds fall between the bond lengths found in and (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
E. What are the approximate CVOH bond orders for the C-C bonds? for the C-N bonds? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
F. What are the approximate CV+ bond orders for the C-C bonds? for the C-N bonds? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
G. The electrostatic charge on the central carbon at the longest constraint distance indicates that the carbon has (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
H. What is(are) the major resonance structure(s) for CV+? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)
using the table II
a) i, iv
b) ii, iii
c) viii
d) vi
weird, I got CVOH to have the longest bond lengths
G. i
H. ii, iii, iv.
To determine the bond order and major resonance structures, we need to refer to Table II for the bond lengths of the given molecules. Let's go through each question step by step.
A. For CVOH, the C-C bonds are longer than the bond lengths found in ___________. To find the bond order, we compare the bond lengths in Table II to determine which bond is longer. Once we identify the longer bond, we can assign an appropriate bond order. For example, if the C-C bond in CVOH is longer than bond iv, we can assign a bond order of iv.
B. For CVOH, the C-N bonds fall between the bond lengths found in ___________ and ___________. Similar to part A, we compare the bond lengths in Table II to determine which bond is shorter and which is longer. Based on this comparison, we can assign a bond order. For example, if the C-N bonds fall between bond ii and bond iv, we can assign a bond order of iii.
C. For CV+, the C-C bonds fall between the bond lengths found in ___________ and ___________. Again, by comparing the bond lengths in Table II, we determine the range within which the C-C bond falls. We can then assign a bond order accordingly.
D. For CV+, the C-N bonds fall between the bond lengths found in ___________ and ___________. Similarly to part C, we compare the bond lengths in Table II to find the range within which the C-N bond falls. This allows us to assign a bond order.
E. What are the approximate CVOH bond orders for the C-C bonds? For the C-N bonds? To answer this question, we refer back to the previous answers (A and B) where we assigned bond orders to the respective C-C and C-N bonds based on their comparison to the bond lengths in Table II.
F. What are the approximate CV+ bond orders for the C-C bonds? For the C-N bonds? Similarly to part E, we refer back to the previous answers (C and D) where we assigned bond orders to the respective C-C and C-N bonds based on their comparison to the bond lengths in Table II.
G. The electrostatic charge on the central carbon at the longest constraint distance indicates that the carbon has ___________. This question requires information beyond what is given in the context. Without additional information, it's not possible to determine the electrostatic charge on the central carbon.
H. What is(are) the major resonance structure(s) for CV+? Determining the major resonance structure(s) requires knowledge of the molecular structure and electron distribution. Without this additional information, it is not possible to determine the major resonance structure(s) for CV+.
