Chapter 21, Problem 27QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To draw the Lewis structure of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.

• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.

• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To draw the Lewis structure of $\text{NO}$.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.

• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.

• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

To draw the Lewis structure of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.

• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.

• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

To draw the Lewis structure of ${\text{SO}}_3$.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.

• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
