Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a molecule which shows shared and unshared pair of electrons. It is helpful to determine the shape of a molecule.
(a)
Answer to Problem 34A
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen has five valence electrons. One electron is shared by each hydrogen atom and two electrons are left unshared.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a molecule which shows shared and unshared pair of electrons. It is helpful to determine the shape of a molecule.
(b)
Answer to Problem 34A
Explanation of Solution
Carbon has four valence electrons. Each electron is shared by chlorine atom and no electrons are left unshared. There will be 3 lone pair each on the Cl atom because Cl atoms have total of 7 valence electrons and only 1 electron is involved in bonding.
(c)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of given molecule is to be drawn.

(c)
Answer to Problem 34A
Explanation of Solution
Nitrogen has five valence electrons. Each electron is shared by one chlorine atom and two electrons are left unshared. Also, there will be 3 lone pair each on the Cl atom because Cl atoms have total of 7 valence electrons and only 1 electron is involved in bonding.
(d)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of given molecule is to be drawn.

Lewis structure is a representation of a molecule which shows shared and unshared pair of electrons. It is helpful to determine the shape of a molecule.
(d)
Answer to Problem 34A
Explanation of Solution
Silicon has four valence electrons. Each electron is shared by one bromine atom and no electrons are left unshared. There will be 3 lone pair each on the Br atom because Br atoms have total of 7 valence electrons and only 1 electron is involved in bonding.
