Video transcript

Hi everyone here We have a question asking if the following statement is true or false, shorter chemical bonds can store more energy than longer chemical bonds. This is true because shorter chemical bonds have a larger bond energy than longer chemical bonds, So that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

Some chemists believe that satisfaction of the octet rule should be the top criterion for choosing the dominant Lewis structure of a molecule or ion. Other chemists believe that achieving the best formal charges should be the top criterion. Consider the dihydrogen phosphate ion, H2PO4-, in which the H atoms are bonded to O atoms. (b) What is the predicted dominant Lewis structure if achieving the best formal charges is the top criterion?
