Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The formal charge on each atom in the oxime molecule shown is to be determined assuming each atom has a filled valence shell.
Concept introduction:
Formal charge (FC) on an atom is the difference between its group number and the number of electrons it possesses. The number of electrons on the valence shell of an atom in a molecule or a molecular ion is the sum of half the electrons in the bonds it has formed and all the electrons in lone pairs that it may have. In other words, FC can be calculated using the formula

Problem Draw Lewis structures for the following:(a) Ethylene (C2H4), the most important reactant in the manufacture of polymers(b) Nitrogen (N2), the most abundant atmospheric gasPlan We show the structure resulting from steps 1 to 4: placing the atoms, counting the total valence electrons, making single bonds, and distributing the remaining valence electrons in pairs to attain octets. Then we continue with step 5, if needed.
Problem Draw a Lewis structure and identify the octet-rule exception for (a) H3PO4 (draw two resonance forms and select the more important); (b) BFCl2.Plan We draw each Lewis structure and examine it for exceptions to the octet rule.(a) The central atom is in Period 3, so it can have more than an octet.(b) The central atom is B, which can have fewer than an octet of electrons.
Consider the Lewis structure shown for thionitromethane.
Draw the major resonance structure for the compound shown; include lone pairs of electrons, formal charges, and condensed hydrogen atoms (located in the More menu). Then draw curved arrows to show how this can be converted to the Lewis structure given.
