Amide Lewis Structural Formulas
Lewis formulas are the major means by which structural information is communicated in
Two or more Lewis formulas, differing only in the placement of electrons, can often be written for a single compound. In such cases the separate structures represented by the Lewis formulas are said to be in resonance, and the true electron distribution is a hybrid of the electron distributions of the contributing structures.
The amide function is an important structural unit in peptides and proteins. Formamide, represented by the Lewis structure shown, is the simplest amide. It is a planar molecule with a dipole moment of
D. Lewis structures I–IV represent species that bear some relationship to the Lewis structure for formamide.

- Four major contributing resonance structures are possible for the given cation, which is the intermediate o complex of an electrophilic aromatic substitution involving phenol and bromine. Two structures are given but are incomplete. Complete the given structures by adding nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Draw the remaining structures (in any order), including nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Complete structure A. Complete structure B. : 0 H :0- Br : Brarrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardEthanol, , is a compound in which the formal charge on all the atoms is zero. Under certain conditions the bond can be broken so that both electrons remain with the oxygen atom. The products are In this structure the oxygen owns one electron from shared pair and two electrons from each of unshared pairs. The total number of electrons belonging to oxygen is Oxygen is a Group element. The formal charge on the oxygen atom is . The correct Lewis structure for the ethoxide ion is Note that the other fragment, the proton, leaves with a formal charge of +1.arrow_forward

Molecular formula: Line bond structural formula:arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structures for the following molecules. For each molecule, determine its (a) electronic geometry, (b) number of nonbonding domains on the central atom, and (c) polarity of the molecule. Remember, that molecules that have zero nonbonding domains on the central atom AND have all of the outer atoms the same are NONPOLAR. Generally, molecules with different outer atoms or with more than one nonbonding domain are POLAR. However, these may be NONPOLAR ONLY IF the dipoles cancel each other due to a symmetrical arrangement.
