Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbols for the lithium atom has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis electron-dot symbols can be used to predict the number of bonds formed by most elements in their compounds. Lewis electron-dot symbol consists of the chemical symbol for an element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons.
Some features of the Lewis electron-dot symbol are as follows:
1. It is the representation of valence electrons.
2. It allows to keep track of valence electrons during bond formation.
3. It consists of the chemical symbol for the element and a dot for each valence electron.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbol for
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbol for
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbol for bromine atom has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
