Question

Inorganic Chemistry:

1. Consider a d-block metal oxide MO₂, which, for simplicity, can be regarded as a O=M=O molecule.
   1. Give the lewis structure of the product that results when one molecule of water adds to MO₂.
   2. Sketch a mechanism that illustrates the structure you provided in part (1)increasing the H⁺ concentration in aqueous solution.
   3. Sketch a mechanism that illustrates the structure you provided in part (1)increasing the OH^- concentration in aqueous solution.
   4. In practice, most d-block MO₂ metal oxides are expected to be: Acidic, Basic, or Amphoteric

Answer 1
