Chapter 22, Problem 107IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structures of ${\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ and ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ should be drawn. And the similarities and dissimilarities in their structures should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Lewis structure is also known as electron dot structure. It is the complete representation of a molecule which shows all bonded atoms with their chemical bonds and lone pairs if any present on them. In Lewis structures, all atoms are represented by their atomic symbols and chemical bonds by lines. The lone pairs or extra electrons on atoms must be represented as cross or dots. In case of molecules with multiple bonds, double bond must be shown as double lines whereas triple bond is always shown as three lines.
