Question
Part II Practicing Coordinate Covalent Bonding for Molecular compounds.
Example: Given the molecular compound SO, draw the molecular compound using the coordinate covalent
bonding model.
A. Calculate the total number of electrons.
S = 1x 6 = 6 electrons
O = 4 x 6 = 24 electrons
Charge -2 = 2 electrons
Total = 32 electrons
B. Determine Center Atom (look for the single element) in this case S.
C. Now make a single bond to all other elements to the central atom. You have used 8 electrons of the 32.
0-
D. Place electrons around the atoms that are bonded to the central atom so that each will have 8 electrons
around them (in this case each oxygen needs 6 more electrons or 3 pairs of electrons).
:
E. Make sure that the central atom has a full octet (8 electrons). In this case it does, so you are done. If not, one
of the lone pairs of electrons from an outer atom will share a second pair of electrons with the center
atom. Finally be sure that you have used all your electrons and NO MORE!
