Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis electron-dot formula given compounds has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis electron-dot symbols.
All stable molecules attain the noble gas and octet arrangement. So that molecule is more stable and less reactive nature.
Rules and steps given in text; valence electrons = group number (from periodic table); central atom is C (least electronegative). Central atom is C, from number considerations only.
