Dielectric Constant in Chemistry Problems

This document provides instructions for a chemistry homework assignment involving tutorial problem set 2. Students are asked to solve 10 problems related to topics covered in lectures 8 through 14, including drawing resonance structures, writing electronic configurations, explaining differences in bond energies and dissociation constants, determining atomic term symbols, drawing Lewis structures, writing molecular electronic configurations, and calculating interaction energies and bond characteristics. The problems cover concepts in inorganic chemistry, including molecular geometry and bonding. Students are instructed to show their work, write legibly, and bring their completed assignment to the next tutorial hour.

I Semester, 2006-2007

Course Number: CHEM C141 Course Title: Chemistry I Marks: 6


Tutorial Problem Set 2 (based on Lecture No.’s: 8-14 in the course handout)
Instructions to the student: The following problems should be solved as home assignment
within a week of distribution. The respective tutorial hour instructor will assign any one problem
as a closed book class test in the following tutorial hour. Do not misplace this sheet. Bring it with
you for the next tutorial hour. Solve and submit the assigned problem to the instructor. Carefully
write your name and ID no. on your answer sheet. Write legibly and do not overwrite. Strike out
clearly the rough work if any. Do not write anything in this sheet other than your name and ID.

energy than O2+ ?

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.

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.

-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.
9. The bond angle in H2S is 97º and its dipole moment is 1.47 D. Find the S-H bond moment.

is 0.1334 nm.
