Interpretation:
The structure of
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure can be shown by each atom in the molecule using the chemical symbol with the electrons. The bond is formed by sharing of valence electrons between the atoms and excess electron is shown as lone pair.
Answer to Problem 41PP
Explanation of Solution
Lewis structure of
First write the electron configuration of nitrogen and hydrogen as follows:
Nitrogen (N)
H
As
For the valence shell configuration nitrogen requires
The structure is represented as follows:
After sharing the electron between the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, the stable valance shell configuration can be obtained.
The valence shell configuration can be achieved by sharing the valence electron between the atoms.
