Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure that obeys the octet rule for each molecule or ion is to be stated. Resonance structures and formal charges to each atom are to be assigned.
Concept introduction: Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot structures, are the diagrams that show bonding between various atoms of a molecule. The valence electrons around an atom are shown by dots. Bonds between atoms are shown by lines and the lone pair of electrons is shown by a pair of dots.
A formal charge is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule. It is assumed that electrons in all bonds are shared equally between atoms regardless of relative electronegativity.
To determine: The Lewis structure that obeys the octet rule for each molecule or ion. Also determine the resonance structures and formal charges to each atom.
