Chapter 13, Problem 4ASA

a. How many sticks did you need to make the skeleton structure?____________

b. How many sticks are left over? ____________

If your model is to obey the octet rule, each ball must have four sticks in it (except for hydrogen atom balls, which need and can only have one). (Each atom in an octet rule species is surrounded by four pairs of electrons.)

c. How many holes remain to be filled? ____________

Fill them with the remaining sticks, which represent nonbonding electron pairs. Draw the complete Lewis structure for ${\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Cl}$ using lines for bonds and pairs of dots for nonbonding electrons.
