1.      Write a plausible Lewis structure for NH₂OH.

2.      In the NH₂OH structure above, which bond is the most polar and what is the direction of the polarity?

(i.e., assign ⁺ and ^- to your choice)

3.   Consider the following dot structure:

      a.   What is wrong with this structure?  __________________________

      b.   Draw a corrected structure in the space to the right, above.

4.   For the species below, draw another Lewis resonance structure (two are possible) AND assign formal charges to each structure.

5.   Use bond energies to estimate DHrxn for the following reaction:

            CH₄    +    Br₂     à      CH₃Br    +     HBr

Bond energies (kJ/mol):

            C - H  (435)                 Br – Br  (192)              C – Br  (293)               H – Br   (368)
