Consider the following molecules/ions:
SO₄²⁻; CCl₄; SOCl₂; PO₄³⁻; XeO₂F₂; SCl₂
Total number of structures in which double bond or triple bond in present (not considering co-ordinate bond)
Answer:
4.00
Solution:
The total number of structures containing at least one double bond is 4. Here is the breakdown:
SO₄²⁻: Contains two S=O double bonds (to minimize formal charge).
SOCl₂: Contains one S=O double bond and two S-Cl single bonds.
PO₄³⁻: Contains one P=O double bond and three P-O⁻ single bonds.
XeO₂F₂: Contains two Xe=O double bonds and two Xe-F single bonds.
CCl₄ and SCl₂: These molecules consist entirely of single bonds between the atoms.
