Chapter 1, Problem 28P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The correct Lewis structure by assigning appropriate charge with the help of given bond pair and lone pairs needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 1, Problem 28P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction: Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure. The bond formation between the atoms takes place due to the sharing of valence electrons of bonded atoms while the remaining electrons present in outer shell represented as lone pair of electrons.

Formal charge on each atom can be determined with the help of number of valence shell electrons, number of lone pair electrons and bond pair electrons. The formula for the formal charge can be written as:

  FC = VE – LE – bond pairFC= formal chargeVE = Valence electrons LE= number of lone pair electrons Bond pair = Number of bond pairs
