Chapter 6.6, Problem 8PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structures of $\text{OH}$ species should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the chemical bonding of covalently bonded molecules and coordination compounds.
• It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
• The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

To find: The Lewis structures of $\text{OH}$ species.
