Understanding Homolytic Dissociation of HCl

What is the first step in drawing HCl using the draw menu?

• Use the single bond option

• Click on the oxygen button

• Highlight the nitrogen atom

• Select the double bond option

How can you change an atom from hydrogen to chlorine in the drawing palette?

• By selecting the double bond option

• By highlighting the hydrogen and clicking the chlorine button

• By using the eraser tool

• By clicking on the nitrogen button

What does a single-headed arrow represent in the context of curved arrows?

• Movement of two electrons

• Movement of one electron

• Formation of a double bond

• Breaking of a triple bond

What indicates that a curved arrow is not in an appropriate position?

• The arrow turns red

• The arrow becomes invisible

• The arrow turns blue

• The arrow becomes thicker

Why are curved arrows not shown in the product stage of the reaction?

• Because the reaction is incomplete

• Because they are not required for the products

• Because the products are unstable

• Because the arrows are only for decoration
