Question

Using the bond lengths recorded in Table II determine bond order and the major resonance structures of the following:

A. For CVOH, the C-C bonds are longer than the bond lengths found in . (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)

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)

Answer 1

using the table II
a) i, iv
b) ii, iii
c) viii
d) vi

Answer 2

weird, I got CVOH to have the longest bond lengths

Answer 3

G. i

H. ii, iii, iv.
