Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Drawing Lewis Structures for the Acetate Ion (CH₃COO⁻)**
**Instructions for Drawing:**
1. **Draw one structure per sketcher box,** and separate added sketcher boxes with the ↔ symbol.
2. **Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges** in your drawing.
3. **Do not draw double bonds to oxygen** unless they are needed in order for the central atom to obey the octet rule.
**Chemical Formula:**
CH₃COO⁻
---
**Detailed Explanation:**
These instructions guide you in illustrating the Lewis structures for the acetate ion, ensuring that each possible resonance structure is depicted. As you create these structures, focus on proper representation without showing ion or formal charges and ensure double bonds to oxygen appear only if necessary to fulfill the octet requirement for central atoms.

- How would you solve this? Please explain in how you solve in simple stepsarrow_forwardDraw a Lewis structure of your choice that has at least three equally reasonable resonance structures. You must show your work as to how the structure was drawn including showing valence electrons, any structures you draw that don’t work and require you to show a multiple bond, and formal charges on each atom that has a formal charge. For example, Nitrate ion has three structures (but you can’t draw this one). All three structures have formal charges and no one structure is preferred based on formal charge. Carbon dioxide would not be a valid choice. While it does have three structures, the structure that has two double bonds is the preferred structure while the structures with triple bonds are not equivalent to the double bonded version as they have multiple formal charges present.arrow_forward2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, CF₃CH₂OH. is used industrially as a solvent for nylon.

The molecule sometimes looks like one resonances structure, and at other times it looks like the other resonance structure b. In one resonance structure, the carbon is in the center, and in the other one, the oxygen is in the center c. The bond between carbon and oxygen would best be described as 2.5 bonds (halfway between a double and a triple bond) d. In one resonance structure the positive charge is on the bromine, and in the other, it is on the carbon.arrow_forwardWhat are the best steps to follow when drawing a lewis structure?
