Which compound has a Lewis structure that contains at least one double bond?
A. N2
B. SO2
C. NH3
D. HF
A. N2
B. SO2
C. NH3
D. HF
-
b) SO2 - its lewis structure will have two double bonds O=S=O with 2 lone pairs (4 dots) around each O and 1 lone pair (2 dots) above S giving it a trigonal planar geometry(sp2 hybridized) and a bent shape. each double bond has 1 sigma and 1 pi bond.
N2 has a triple bond (1 sigma, 2 pi bonds), NH3 has 3 single bonds (3 sigma bonds), and HF has 1 single bond (1 sigma bond).
N2 has a triple bond (1 sigma, 2 pi bonds), NH3 has 3 single bonds (3 sigma bonds), and HF has 1 single bond (1 sigma bond).
