AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around verifying the correctness of Lewis structures for specific molecules. Participants express uncertainty but generally agree that the structures appear acceptable. The question about the Lewis structure for the Al^{3+} ion is addressed, confirming it resembles the noble gas neon with no dots or lines, represented simply as [Al]^{3+}. Clarification is sought regarding a referenced image, indicating a need for visual confirmation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate Lewis structures in understanding molecular geometry and ion representation.

are these the correct lewis structures for these molecules??

also, if i have an ion for example Al^{3+} what is its lewis structure, this ion is like noble gas Ne as far as valent electrons, so is its lewis structure just [Al]^{3+} , no dots or lines?

I think you're right on the Al3+.

The other question, did you mean this picture below?

Well, I am not very sure but they look okie to me!

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
