Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:Lewis structure for the $N_2{H}_4$ is to be drawn showing bonding valence electrons as lines and non-bonding valence electrons as dots.

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:Lewis structure for the $C_2{H}_6$ is to be drawn showing bonding valence electrons as lines and non-bonding valence electrons as dots.

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:Lewis structure for the $NC{l}_3$ is to be drawn showing bonding valence electrons as lines and non-bonding valence electrons as dots.

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)
