Question
Chapter 10, Problem 43E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The error in each ionic Lewis structure is to be determined and the correct structure is to be written.
Concept introduction:
In the Lewis model, atom is represented by the element’s symbol and the valence electrons are represented by the dots around the element’s symbol.
In the Lewis structure, the number of valence electron is equal to the group number of the element.
In the Lewis structure, the valence electron of the main group element is represented by the dots.
Elements loss or gain electrons to get an octet, stable electronic configuration.
