The Lewis diagram for
Concept introduction:
The Lewis structure shows the connectivity between atoms by identifying the lone pairs of electrons in a compound. Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures. The valence electrons around an atom are shown by dots. Bonds between atoms are shown by lines and the lone pair of electrons is shown by a pair of dots.
Answer to Problem 9E
The Lewis diagram for
Explanation of Solution
The number of valence electrons in the carbon atom is
In
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in
These valence electrons are distributed in the Lewis diagram using bonds and lone pair of electrons.

True Falsearrow_forwardFor each of the following molecules draw the Lewis structure on a separate sheet of paper. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE RULES FROM CLASS (ie do not break the octet rule unless necessary to connect all the atoms). These can all be drawn on one piece of paper. Based on your structure provide the following: the total number of valence electrons. a picture of the Lewis structure (3-D model not required). the total number of structural domains around the CENTRAL atom. the number of bonding domains around the CENTRAL atom. the number of lone pairs around the CENTRAL atom. the electronic and molecular shapes. the hybridization of the CENTRAL atom.
