Concept explainers
Interpretation: The Lewis structures for the reactants and products in the given reaction are to be drawn. If any of these structures contain atoms with fewer than eight valence electrons is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The Lewis structures are diagrams that give information about the bonding electron pairs and the lone pairs of electrons in a molecule. Similar to electron dot structure in Lewis diagram the lone pair electrons are represented as dots and they also contain lines which represent bonding electron pairs in a bond.
To determine: The Lewis structures for the reactants and products in the given reaction and if any of these structures contain atoms with fewer than eight valence electrons.
