- Determine whether each compound is ionic or molecular and draw an appropriate Lewis structure: a.K2Ob.CHClO(carbonisthecentralatom)c.SrSd.CH3Cl(carbonisthecentralatom)arrow_forwardUsing the symbols and +, indicate the direction of polarity in each polar covalent bond. (a) CN (b) NO (c) CClarrow_forwardPlease refer to the example image to answer. You must use CER, claim-evidence-reasoning. Make sure that your answer is CLEAR and explained well. Claim is your answer to the question. Evidence is from the image and reasoning is your explanation. Proper evidence for all Lewis structures include: Most electronegative atom must be in the center. Octet of electrons surrounding each atom. Total number of electrons depicted equals same total number of valence electrons from each participating atom. Make sure to refer to the example image because it shows the correct Lewis structures. The question you're answering is about the students drawing of CH20.arrow_forward
- To draw a Lewis Structure, start with the atomic symbol in the middle, then put dots around the symbol until all of the valence electrons are represented. Try to envision a box around the atom symbol, and the electrons on each side of the box. The valence electrons should be drawn around the element symbol one on each side before pairing the electrons up. The maximum number of electrons that could be on one side of a Lewis Structure is two, and the maximum number of electrons around an element symbol is eight. To figure out how many valence electrons each element has, use the Periodic Table. Remember, the number of valance electrons for Group A elements is equal to the Group A number the element is in on the Periodic Table. Use the data you collected in Table 1 to a draw Lewis structure model to show the formation of any one of the compounds you assembled, then explain the model you drew. Remember, you should be explaining and supporting your answers by referencing and citing the…arrow_forwardTo draw a Lewis Structure, start with the atomic symbol in the middle, then put dots around the symbol until all of the valence electrons are represented.
