Chapter 16, Problem 16.140SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The electron dot structure for the given Lewis acid or base needs to be drawn.

${\text{SiF}}_{\text{4}}{\text{+2F}}^{\text{-}}\to {\text{SoF}}_{\text{6}}{}^{\text{2-}}$

Concept introduction:

In an acid-base reaction, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

Lewis electron dot structure represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule. The total number of valence electrons are distributed such that all the atoms have a complete octet.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The electron dot structure for the given Lewis acid or base needs to be drawn.

${\text{4NH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{+Zn}}^{\text{2+}}\to Z\text{n}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{4}}{}^{\text{2+}}$

Concept introduction:

In an acid-base reaction, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

Lewis electron dot structure represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule. The total number of valence electrons are distributed such that all the atoms have complete octet.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The electron dot structure for the given Lewis acid or base needs to be drawn.

${\text{2Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{+HgCl}}_{\text{2}}\to {\text{HgCl}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{-2}}$

Concept introduction:

In an acid-base reaction, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

Lewis electron dot structure represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule. The total number of valence electrons are distributed such that all the atoms have a complete octet.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The electron dot structure for the given Lewis acid or base needs to be drawn.

${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}{\text{+H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept introduction:

In an acid-base reaction, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

Lewis electron dot structure represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule. The total number of valence electrons are distributed such that all the atoms have a complete octet.
