Chapter 10, Problem 31E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure for the given ions is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis structures are written with the help of Lewis dot model. In the Lewis dot model, the valence electrons of the element are shown with the help of dots around the symbol of element.

In the positive ion, the electrons are lost form the valence shell and in the negative ion, the electrons are added to the valence shell.
