Expert Solution

A sulfur atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs.

formal charge of S   = 6-1/2*4-4 = 0

A nitrogen atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs.

formal charge of N   = 5-1/2*4-4   = -1

A sulfur atom that forms four bonds and has one lone pair

We have two atoms, atom A and atom B. Atom B is at rest, while Atom A is moving at velocity v0 in the x-direction toward Atom B. Instead of the atoms attaching to each other immediately upon contact, we model the force between the atoms as a spring force that follows the hook law. When atom A reaches position xA= −? the atoms are linked together through a spring with spring constant ? and equilibrium length ?. We assume...
