Question
Chapter 11, Problem 13RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason has to be given for the representation of valence electrons only in Lewis structure.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure:
The representation of valence shell electrons around the atom is known as Lewis structure or Lewis dot structure. Electrons are represented as a dot in Lewis structures, a single dot represents unpaired electron and paired of dots represents paired electrons.
