Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of saccharin needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a Lewis structure of molecule, lone pair of electrons are represented by dots around the atom and shared pair of electrons are represented by lines joining the two atoms sharing the electrons. Number of electron pairs shared determines the type of the covalent bond. If two electrons are shared, single covalent bond is formed, if four electrons are shared, double covalent bond is formed and if there are 6 electrons shared between two atoms, the bond formed will be a triple bond.
Total number of valence electrons are calculated and distributed among all the atoms such that all the atoms have complete octets.
