Question
Chapter 1, Problem 15EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The total number of electrons in the given molecular skeleton is to be calculated and there by the Lewis structure is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The electrons present in the valance shell are called as valance electrons. A single bond is formed by involving two valance electrons. The valance electrons which are not involved in bonding are called as lone pair of electrons and they are usually represented as dots over the atom.

Determine the total number of valence electrons. Add electrons for negative charges, subtract electrons for positive charges. 2. Place least electronegative atom (except H) as central atom in structure. 3. Connect atoms by singles bonds.

Then complete the central atom’s octet last if you have enough electrons. 5. Make double or triple bonds as needed to complete octets. 6. Place brackets and charge for ions.
