Chapter 10, Problem 58E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure for each ion is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

In Lewis structure, valence electrons are represented by dots and it is also known as dot structure.

A resonance form is another way of drawing a Lewis dot structure for a given compound. Equivalent Lewis structures are called resonance forms. They are used when there is more than one way to place double bonds and lone pairs on atoms.

Lewis model was discovered by an American chemist, G.N. Lewis.

Lewis model is used to represent the molecules.
