Chapter 9, Problem 9.10QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The characteristics of the correct Lewis structure have to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis electron-dot symbols can be used to predict the number of bonds formed by most elements in their compounds. Lewis electron-dot symbol consists of the chemical symbol for an element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons.

Some features of the Lewis electron-dot symbol are as follows:

1. It is the representation of valence electrons.

2. It allows to keep track of valence electrons during bond formation.

3. It consists of the chemical symbol for the element and a dot for each valence electron.

Lewis structure is a representation used to denote the valence shell electrons present in a molecule. It is used to represent the arrangement of the electrons around individual atoms in a molecule. Electrons are shown as dots and for bonding electrons as a line between the two atoms.
