Chapter 2, Problem 8CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : Whether both structures of carbon dioxide in Model 2 are legitimate structures or not should be discussed.

Concept Introduction : A legitimate Lewis structure is an electron dot and line bond representation in which the total number of valence electrons is indicated. The number of valence electrons around hydrogen is two. The number of valence electrons around carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine atom is eight. This is called the octet rule.

How many valence electrons are there in a correctly drawn Lewis structure for formamide, HCONH2  ( You should also be able to draw the lewis structure for this. Hint, the C is in the center with an O ,N and 1 H attached. The other H atoms are attached to the N)
II. Please expand each of the following bond-line formulas to the corresponding standard Lewis structure, be sure to show all the bonds and unshared electron pairs as well as formal charges, if it applies. 0: (a) (c) O Br | Br-B-Br -N- (b) HO: NO₂ 0: blos ohsup?
The resonance structures shown below have all lone pairs drawn in, but are missing formal charges. What is the formal charge on (A) the carbon on the left , (B) the nitrogen on the left (C) the carbon on the right , and (D) the nitrogen on the right A B HC DH C-N C=N H. H. H
