How do you know when to draw a solid wedge vs a dashed wedge when drawing 3D bond-line structures? I know that solid-wedge means the atom is pointing towards you and dashed wedge means it's in the back, but how do you know which atoms are in the front as opposed to the back? How can you tell what the configuration will look like in space just by looking at the lewis structure or name?
Focus on the C atom on the left as the central atom. How many other atoms are directly bonded to this C atom? How many bonding domains are there on the C atom on the left? How many lone pairs of electrons are there on the C atom on the left? How many nonbonding domains are there on the C atom on the left?
I wanna help to answer this question Thanks a lot
please answer quickly thank you
♥ Draw Lewis structures for each of the following. Give the total number of valence electrons,select from the lists the number of Regions of Electron Density (REDs) around the central atom,the molecular shape, and the bond angles.♥ Do not put covalent bonds between metals and nonmetals.♥ Put brackets around anions to show both charge and quantity.
Can you explain the equation and answer? Where did you get 4 for electrons in bonding? How do you calculate electrons in anti bonding? Li2 would look like "Li-Li" so wouldn't it only have 2 electrons in bonding since a single bond is only 2 electrons?
