CHAPTER 1
CHEMICAL BONDING
SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS
1.1 The element carbon has atomic number 6, and so it has a total of six electrons. Two of these electrons
are in the 1s level. The four electrons in the 2s and 2p levels (the valence shell) are the valence
electrons. Carbon has four valence electrons.
1.2 Electron configurations of elements are derived by applying the following principles:
(a) The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to its atomic number Z.
(b) The maximum number of electrons in any orbital is 2.
(c) Electrons are added to orbitals in order of increasing energy, filling the 1s orbital before any
electrons occupy the 2s level. The 2s orbital is filled before any of the 2p orbitals, and the
3s orbital is filled before any of the 3p orbitals.
(d) All the 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are of equal energy, and each is singly occupied before any
is doubly occupied. The same holds for the 3p orbitals.
With this as background, the electron configuration of the third-row elements is derived as
follows [2p6 2px

( f) Ca2 20 18 1s22s22p63s23p6
Those with a noble gas configuration are H, F, and Ca2.
1.4 A positively charged ion is formed when an electron is removed from a neutral atom. The equation
representing the ionization of carbon and the electron configurations of the neutral atom and the ion
is:
A negatively charged carbon is formed when an electron is added to a carbon atom. The additional
electron enters the 2pz orbital.
Neither C nor C has a noble gas electron configuration.
1.5 Hydrogen has one valence electron, and fluorine has seven. The covalent bond in hydrogen fluoride
arises by sharing the single electron of hydrogen with the unpaired electron of fluorine.
1.6 We are told that C2H6 has a carbon–carbon bond.
There are a total of 14 valence electrons distributed as shown. Each carbon is surrounded by eight
electrons.
1.7 (b) Each carbon contributes four valence electrons, and each fluorine contributes seven. Thus, C2F4
has 36 valence electrons. The octet rule is satisfied for carbon only if the two carbons are attached
by a double bond and there are two fluorines on each carbon. The pattern of connections
shown (below left) accounts for 12 electrons. The remaining 24 electrons are divided equally
(six each) among the four fluorines. The complete Lewis structure is shown at right below.
(c) Since the problem states that the atoms in C3H3N are connected in the order CCCN and all hydrogens
are bonded to carbon, the order of attachments can only be as shown (below left) so
as to have four bonds to each carbon. Three carbons contribute 12 valence electrons, three hydrogens
contribute 3, and nitrogen contributes 5, for a total of 20 valence electrons. The nine

bonds indicated in the partial structure account for 18 electrons. Since the octet rule is satisfied
for carbon, add the remaining two electrons as an unshared pair on nitrogen (below right).
1.8 The degree of positive or negative character at carbon depends on the difference in electronegativity
between the carbon and the atoms to which it is attached. From Table 1.2, we find the electronegativity
values for the atoms contained in the molecules given in the problem are:
Li 1.0
H 2.1
C 2.5
Cl 3.0
Thus, carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and lithium, but less electronegative than
chlorine. When bonded to carbon, hydrogen and lithium bear a partial positive charge, and carbon
bears a partial negative charge. Conversely, when chlorine is bonded to carbon, it bears a partial negative
charge, and carbon becomes partially positive. In this group of compounds, lithium is the least
electronegative element, chlorine the most electronegative.

1.10 The electron counts of nitrogen in ammonium ion and boron in borohydride ion are both 4 (one half
of 8 electrons in covalent bonds).
Since a neutral nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell, an electron count of 4 gives it a formal
charge of 1. A neutral boron has 3 valence electrons, and so an electron count of 4 in borohydride
ion corresponds to a formal charge of 1.
1.11 As shown in the text in Table 1.2, nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen and will draw the
electrons in N@H bonds toward itself. Nitrogen with a formal charge of 1 is even more electronegative
than a neutral nitrogen.
Boron (electronegativity 2.0) is, on the other hand, slightly less electronegative than hydrogen
(electronegativity 2.1). Boron with a formal charge of 1 is less electronegative than a neutral
boron. The electron density in the B@H bonds of BH4
is therefore drawn toward hydrogen and
away from boron.
1.12 (b) The compound (CH3)3CH has a central carbon to which are attached three CH3 groups and a
hydrogen.
Four carbons and 10 hydrogens contribute 26 valence electrons. The structure shown has
13 covalent bonds, and so all the valence electrons are accounted for. The molecule has no
unshared electron pairs.
(c) The number of valence electrons in ClCH2CH2Cl is 26 (2Cl 14; 4H 4; 2C 8). The
constitution at the left below shows seven covalent bonds accounting for 14 electrons. The remaining
12 electrons are divided equally between the two chlorines as unshared electron
pairs. The octet rule is satisfied for both carbon and chlorine in the structure at the right below.

(d) This compound has the same molecular formula as the compound in part (c), but a different
structure. It, too, has 26 valence electrons, and again only chlorine has unshared pairs.
(e) The constitution of CH3NHCH2CH3 is shown (below left). There are 26 valence electrons, and
24 of them are accounted for by the covalent bonds in the structural formula. The remaining
two electrons complete the octet of nitrogen as an unshared pair (below right).
( f ) Oxygen has two unshared pairs in (CH3)2CHCH?O.
1.13 (b) This compound has a four-carbon chain to which are appended two other carbons.
(c) The carbon skeleton is the same as that of the compound in part (b), but one of the terminal
carbons bears an OH group in place of one of its hydrogens.
(d) The compound is a six-membered ring that bears a @C(CH3)3 substituent.

1.17 There are four B@H bonds in BH4
. The four electron pairs surround boron in a tetrahedral orientation.
The H@B@H angles are 109.5°.
1.18 (b) Nitrogen in ammonium ion is surrounded by 8 electrons in four covalent bonds. These four
bonds are directed toward the corners of a tetrahedron.
(c) Double bonds are treated as a single unit when deducing the shape of a molecule using the
VSEPR model. Thus azide ion is linear.
(d) Since the double bond in carbonate ion is treated as if it were a single unit, the three sets of
electrons are arranged in a trigonal planar arrangement around carbon.
1.19 (b) Water is a bent molecule, and so the individual O@H bond dipole moments do not cancel.
Water has a dipole moment.
(c) Methane, CH4, is perfectly tetrahedral, and so the individual (small) C@H bond dipole
moments cancel. Methane has no dipole moment.

(e) Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon and attracts electrons from it. Formaldehyde has
a dipole moment.
( f ) Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon. Hydrogen cyanide has a dipole moment.
1.20 The orbital diagram for sp3-hybridized nitrogen is the same as for sp3-hybridized carbon, except
nitrogen has one more electron.
The unshared electron pair in ammonia (••
NH3) occupies an sp3-hybridized orbital of nitrogen. Each
N@H bond corresponds to overlap of a half-filled sp3 hybrid orbital of nitrogen and a 1s orbital of
hydrogen.
1.21 Silicon lies below carbon in the periodic table, and it is reasonable to assume that both carbon and
silicon are sp3-hybridized in H3CSiH3. The C@Si bond and all of the C@H and Si@H bonds are
bonds.
The principal quantum number of the carbon orbitals that are hybridized is 2; the principal quantum
number for the silicon orbitals is 3.
1.22 (b) Carbon in formaldehyde (H2C?O) is directly bonded to three other atoms (two hydrogens
and one oxygen). It is sp2-hybridized.

carbon is sp2-hybridized.

1.23 All these species are characterized by the formula ••

of 5.
Electron count X electron count Y 2 3 5
(a) A neutral nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: therefore, each atom is electrically
neutral in molecular nitrogen.
(b) Nitrogen, as before, is electrically neutral. A neutral carbon has 4 valence
electrons, and so carbon in this species, with an electron count of 5, has a unit
negative charge. The species is cyanide anion; its net charge is 1.
(c) There are two negatively charged carbon atoms in this species. It is a dianion; its
net charge is 2.
(d) Here again is a species with a neutral nitrogen atom. Oxygen, with an electron
count of 5, has 1 less electron in its valence shell than a neutral oxygen atom.
Oxygen has a formal charge of 1; the net charge is 1.
(e) Carbon has a formal charge of 1; oxygen has a formal charge of 1. Carbon
monoxide is a neutral molecule.
1.24 All these species are of the type ••

?X?Y• •

•. Atom X has an electron count of 4, corresponding to
half of the 8 shared electrons in its four covalent bonds. Each atom Y has an electron count of 6; 4
unshared electrons plus half of the 4 electrons in the double bond of each Y to X.
(a) Oxygen, with an electron count of 6, and carbon, with an electron count of 4,
both correspond to the respective neutral atoms in the number of electrons
they “own.” Carbon dioxide is a neutral molecule, and neither carbon nor
oxygen has a formal charge in this Lewis structure.
(b) The two terminal nitrogens each have an electron count (6) that is one more
than a neutral atom and thus each has a formal charge of 1. The central N
has an electron count (4) that is one less than a neutral nitrogen; it has a formal
charge of 1. The net charge on the species is (1 1 1), or 1.
(c) As in part (b), the central nitrogen has a formal charge of 1. As in part (a),
each oxygen is electrically neutral. The net charge is 1.

elements, and thus have a formal charge of 1 in the tetrahedral anions BF4
and AlH4
respectively.
(c, d) Both of the tetrahedral anions have 32 valence electrons. Sulfur contributes 6 valence electrons
and phosphorus 5 to the anions. Each oxygen contributes 6 electrons. The double
negative charge in sulfate contributes 2 more, and the triple negative charge in phosphate
contributes 3 more.
The formal charge on each oxygen in both ions is 1. The formal charge on sulfur in sulfate
is 2; the charge on phosphorus is 1. The net charge of sulfate ion is 2; the net charge of
phosphate ion is 3.
1.26 (a) Each hydrogen has a formal charge of 0, as is always the case when hydrogen is covalently
bonded to one substituent. Oxygen has an electron count of 5.
A neutral oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons; therefore, oxygen in this species has a formal
charge of 1. The species as a whole has a unit positive charge. It is the hydronium ion, H3O.
(b) The electron count of carbon is 5; there are 2 electrons in an unshared pair, and 3 electrons are
counted as carbon’s share of the three covalent bonds to hydrogen.
An electron count of 5 is one more than that for a neutral carbon atom. The formal charge on
carbon is 1, as is the net charge on this species.
(c) This species has 1 less electron than that of part (b). None of the atoms bears a formal charge.
The species is neutral.
(d) The formal charge of carbon in this species is 1. Its only electrons are those in its three
covalent bonds to hydrogen, and so its electron count is 3. This corresponds to 1 less electron
than in a neutral carbon atom, giving it a unit positive charge.
