Concept explainers
Interpretation: The Lewis structures for HI, CH3CH2CH3, CH3OH, HSSH, SiO2, O2 and CS2 should be drawn.
Concept introduction: Lewis dot structure is the representation which shows the bonding between atoms present in a molecule. It shows lone pairs and bond pairs that exist on each bonded atom.
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. To draw the Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons in each atom and draw the structure in such a way that each atom gets its octet configuration.

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Consider the following compounds: CaCl 2 , CaI 2 , and MgCl 2 . Answer the following questions based on expected periodic trends: (a) Which is expected to have t he shortest ionic bonds? (b) Which is expected to have the highest lattice energy? (c) Which is expected to have the lowest melting point?arrow_forwardWhat possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)? [:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure. The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible. The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.arrow_forwardUse bond energies (see table) to predict AH for the formation of HCI gas.

- This Lewis Structure is incorrect because [Ca]+ [:O:]- The metal should be negative and the nonmetal should be positive The metal should have a +2 charge and the nonmetal should have a -2 charge The metal should have 2 electrons O around it and the nonmetal should have 6 electrons around it There is nothing wrong with the Lewis Structure 2.arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure for the xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) molecule.
