Chapter 3.4, Problem 3.10PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure of water has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Step-1: Use chemical symbols for the various elements to write the skeletal structure of the compound.

Step-2: Determine the number of valence electrons associated with each atom and combine them to determine the total number of valence electrons in the compound.

Step-3: Connect the central atom to each of the surrounding atoms with single bonds.

Step-4: Place electrons as lone pairs around the terminal atoms to complete the octet.

Step-5: If the octet rule is not satisfied for all the atoms, move one or more lone pairs on a terminal atom in to make a bond with the central atom.

Step-6: If that satisfied with the Lewis structure a final electron can be performed.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure of methane has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:
