(a)
Interpretation:
Whether oxygen can serve as a central atom or not is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures, or Lewis dot structure, use to show the bonding present between atoms and the lone pair of a molecule. The Lewis-dot structure can also be useful in representing the bond length, bond order of the molecule.
In Lewis structure, the central atom is the one which has the least electronegativity and also can form more than one bond.

- 1. For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫ the terms primary, secondary and tertiary have different meanings when applied to amines than they do when applied to alcohols. • a tertiary amine is one that is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom (one with three C atoms bonded to it). • simple five-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyrrole) are typically more electron rich than benzene. ⚫ simple six-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyridine) are typically more electron rich than benzene. • pyrrole is very weakly basic because protonation anywhere on the ring disrupts the aromaticity. • thiophene is more reactive than benzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • pyridine is more reactive than nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of pyridine is part of the pi system.arrow_forwardThe following reactions are NOT ordered in the way in which they occur.
