Calculations have been reported on the changes that occur when the following compounds are oxidized by one electron. (See T. Leyssens, D. Peeters, A. G. Orpen, J. N. Harvey, New J. Chem. , 2005 , 29 , 1424–1430.)

a. When these compounds are oxidized, what is the effect on the C–O distances? Explain.

b. When these compounds are oxidized, what is the effect on the Cr–P distance? On the Cr–N distance? Explain.
