It isnt really a half-bond but the negativity of that electron is shared over the whole molecule.

Well thats what I was trying to get across dam lack of explaining skill.Originally posted by Constip8edSkunk
ozone has a resonating coordinate bond meaning that that third pair is effectively shared by all 3 O atoms so both diagrams are correct...
Well lets just hope they dont ask for a lewis dot diagram of benzene or ozone.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!
im telling you people if you do write ozone has two 1 1/2 bonds because of phenomena of resonance, you'll get fucked to the maximum. i found that out...
edit: stop complicating and learning the actual right way... just learn the hsc way. dammit.
it just means that the electrons are delocalized or spread over all three atoms... ie free to move.Originally posted by Wohzazz

ok....i'll think i'll stick with double covalent plus coordinate, this is getting complicatedOriginally posted by Constip8edSkunk

Instead of an electron pair orbiting one atom, it effectively orbits the whole molecule. Bah abdooooooooooooo (however many o's it is beat me to it)Originally posted by Wohzazz

its the hsc man... i don't think i can make it any clearer... they won't ask anything thats beyond the most basic chemical idea that is so stupid that a 4 year old can learn.Originally posted by Xayma

1st, you dont have to know this and defintely dont have to explain this.Originally posted by Wohzazz

I know that and hence I wont give them more, but if he asks Im not going to be held responsible for it.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!

its five o's i think... for effect... sounds cool when you say it with an exclamation... or three.... hahahahaOriginally posted by Xayma

no one can get 100... haven't you learnt that its all about the syllabus... outside = failureOriginally posted by
Ragerunner You sound like the type of people who will get 100 for Chemistry.....
Like half the questions asked aren't even in the syllabus and it's like your doing it out of interest!
Well why else would we be answering them at 11:30pm during the school Holidays.Originally posted by Ragerunner

Your also forgetting the fact that we havent been asked to write an essay on the contribution of the discovery of the delocalised electron in ozone has had to society.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!

Well it doesnt really poison us, just oxidises everything in your body. CFC's destroy them and the ozone hole just gives me an excuse to stay in doors. Interesting side note: Oxygen taken at 3ATM can be poisionous, and pure oxygen can kill new born babies.Originally posted by abdooooo!!!
ahahaha... what ozone? there is something about the effect of ozone in the syllabus i think. its like it poisons people and something about CFCs killing them and giving us cancers due to something like UV.
what are you... hsc chem freak? i for one believe ozone is poisonous for the hsc... because if you say its a strong oxidant... they might hammer you for being too smart.Originally posted by Xayma

lol actually i think one of the papers i did, sbhs trial/topic test or some practice trials from other schools (cant remember) awarded full marks for saying its a strong oxidant...damaging bodies etc etc, and -1 for just saying its poisonous/toxic hahaOriginally posted by abdooooo!!!

So answering "Ionic compounds are between metals and ________" with this "non-metals or metalloids, depending on the electronegativity of the metal will determine whether the metal and metalloid will join ionically, or whether it will bond metallicaly through a substitution alloy." is bad and I should just stop at non-metals?
