1. Draw all the resonating forms for ozone (O3), boron trifluoride (BF3), nitrate anion (NO3-),
nitrite anion (NO2-), sulfate anion (SO4-2) and carbonate anion (CO3-).
2. Write electronic configuration of the followings

3. Why does N2 has greater dissociation energy than N2+2 whereas O2 has lower dissociation
energy than O2+ ?
4. (a) Determine the atomic term symbols for electrons for which L = 2 and S = 1. (b) Predict
whether the molecules SF6, NH3, CO2, H2O, CHCl3 and CCl4 will have dipole moments.
5. Determine the atomic term symbol for (a) hydrogen atom (b) Helium atom in ground state
and excited state.
6. Write Lewis structures (structures in which each electron pair bond is designated by
a line joining the nuclei and dots are used to designate unshared electrons in the
valency shell) for SCN-, N3-, CO2, HF, NH4+, SO2
7. Give the molecular electronic configuration for each species: O2+, O2, O2-, O2-2 and
predict (a) which species are paramagnetic (b) the order of increasing bond
dissociation energy among the species.
8. (a) Two HCl molecules (µ = 1.08 D) are separated by 4.0 Å (400 pm) in air. Calculate (in
-1
vacuum with medium dielectric constant = 1) the dipole-dipole interaction energy in kJmol
if they oriented end-to-end, that is H-Cl H-Cl, considering HCl as point dipole.
(b) Explain why ammonia is soluble in water but nitrogen trichloride is not.

is 0.1334 nm.
10. Write electronic configuration for C2, B2 and N2. Explain why C2 and B2 are paramagnetic
whereas N2 is diamagnetic.
