Concept Introduction:
The enthalpy of the reaction by using the bond enthalpy is calculated by the expression, which is as:
Here,
The enthalpy of the reaction by using the standard enthalpy of formation is calculated by the expression, which is as:
Here,
Rules to write the Lewis structure are as:
The skeletal structure of the compound is drawn in which the less electronegative element is placed as the central atom, which is surrounded by substituent atoms.
The total number of valence electrons for the compound is determined.
Subtract two electrons for each bond in the skeletal structure from the total number of valence electrons to know the number of remaining electrons.
Complete the octet of each terminal atom by placing a pair of electrons from the remaining electrons.
If any of the electrons are remaining after completing the octet of terminal atoms, place the remaining electrons as a pair on the central atom.
