Question

Need help with this question please, it's split up into two parts. For part two, I gave options where they were available. 

1. Draw the conjugate acid with formal charge(s) below. If there are electrons around any of the atoms ignore them for now. The details will be addressed in the next section.

2.  Now specify the details of the structure that was drawn.

N with three single bonds and 2 electrons around the atom in the base becomes a N atom with (blank) bonds.

(Negative Charge/No Charge/Positive Charge), and (blank) electron(s) around the atom in the conjugate acid.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Conjugate acid of CH3CH2NHwill be 

         CH3CH2NH3, this is formed by the donation of lone pairs of Nitrogen to H

Formal charge of N is +1 

Formal Charge = [no. of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds].
