- The skeleton is benzaldoxime is The number of valence electrons is as follows: from the phenyl group. ___; from each of two hydrogens, ___; from the carbon atom, ___; from the nitrogen atom, ___; and from the oxygen atom, ___, for a total of ___. Filling in the skeleton with single bonds and adding the appropriate unshared pairs gives _____________________ The number of electrons in the functional group of this trial structure is ___, which is ___ too many. Removing an unshared pair from carbon and nitrogen and adding a second bond between them gives _____________________ in which carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen have their customary valences of ___, ___, and respectively. The alternative structure with a double bond between nitrogen and oxygen is _____________________ This structure is not acceptable because it requires carbon and oxygen to exhibit the unfamiliar valences of ___ and ___. Derive Lewis structures for the compounds below.arrow_forwardNitrobenzene has the skeleton The number of available valence electrons is: from the phenyl group, ____; from the nitrogen atom, ____; and from each of two oxygen atoms, ____, for a total of ____. Filling in all single bonds and adding the appropriate unshared pairs gives ______________________________ The functional group of this structure contains ____ electrons. Therefore, unshared pairs are removed from the nitrogen atom and one of the oxygen atoms; a double bond is added giving ______________________________ which has the correct number of electrons. In this structure the nitrogen atom is sharing ____ pairs of electrons. From each shared pair the nitrogen owns ____ electron for a total of ____. Nitrogen is a Group ____ element and would have outer shell electrons in the unbonded, neutral state. Since the nitrogen atom in nitrobenzene has one fewer electron than it would in the neutral state, it has a formal charge of +1 . This is added to the Lewis structure as + giving Since an electron is negatively charged, a shortage of one electron results in a single positive charge on an atom. Conversely, an excess of one electron results in a single negative charge on an atom. When an atom in a Lewis structure “owns” two fewer electrons than it would have in the neutral, unbonded state, it is denoted by ++ or +2 and, conversely, or – 2.arrow_forwardWill the number of isomers increase or decrease with thenumber of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon?
