Chapter 1, Problem 6CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The lone pair which is shown in the first four rows of the given figure should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

In a planetary model of an atom, negatively charged electrons are arranged around the positively charged electron in a series of shells which is like orbits.

The electrons present in the outermost energy level or shell are known as valence electrons. These electrons are available for bonding and the outermost shell is known as valence shell.

The general valence shell representation is shown as:

The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6 is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Since each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.
In the following Lewis structure of [BrO3]", every atom, bond and lone pair is positioned. To complete the structure, drag the formal charge tags to the appropriate atom(s). Each marker may be used more than once, or not at all. If an atom has a formal charge of zero, do not drag a tag to it. When you drag the marker in, place the little crosshairs in the upper left corner of the marker directly over the atom(s) in question (not above them). Ö: Br: 2+ 2-
For 1 and 2, use curved arrows to illustrate the potential overall electron movements or bond changes, and identify the type of reaction by examining the overall chemical transformation. Show A-H bonds as needed.
