Interpretation:
Ozone absorbs UV radiation of wavelengths less than 320 nm, while oxygen requires higher – energy
Concept Introduction:
Electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation.
Radiant energy emitted by all matter whose temperature is greater than absolute zero
(
Radiant energy with short wavelength (higher frequency) will have the most energy and as the wavelength get longer, the energy decreases.
Bond energy or more correctly the bond dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when breaking a bond in a molecule with the reactant and products in the gas phase.
Resonance structures: when a single Lewis structure does not adequately represent a substance, the true structure is intermediate between two or more structures which are called resonance structures and these structures are created by moving electrons, not atoms.

Chemistry In Context
- A Lewis structure obeying the octet rule can be drawn for O2 as follows: Use the molecular orbital energy-level diagram for O2 to show that the above Lewis structure corresponds to an excited state.arrow_forwardDraw all of the Lewis structures of O22- which obey the octet rule and use this Lewis structure or these resonance structures to predict how many covalent bonds connect each oxygen atom in the real structure to the central O atom. Assume that the octet rule is followed for the O atom when you draw your structure(s). Pick the correct statement from the choices below. a) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1 covalent bonds. b) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.33 covalent bonds. c) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds. d) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.67 covalent bonds. e) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.25 covalent bonds.arrow_forwardUsing bond energies, explain the reaction sequence of ozone-destroying capability in the stratosphere of hydrocarbons containing the halogens: Br > Cl> Farrow_forward

- Silicon is in the same group of the periodic table as carbon and,like carbon, can form up to four single bonds. Many science fiction stories have been based on the premise of silicon-based life. Is this realistic? What characteristics of silicon make it less well adapted than carbon as the central organizing element for life? To answer this question, consider what you have learned about carbon’s bonding versatility, and refer to a beginning inorganic chemistry textbook for silicon’s bonding propertiesarrow_forwardDraw Lewis structures of the peroxide ion and the oxygen moleculearrow_forwardHydrazine, N2H4, burns in oxygen as follows: N2H4 + O2 → N2 + 2H2O [The bond energies in kJ/mol are: N-H = 388; N-N 163; N≡N 944; O-H 463; O=O 496] Draw the chemical structures of the reactants and products and give the formula to calculate enthalpy change in a reaction, ΔH.arrow_forward
