Chapter 16, Problem 69E

Use Lewis symbols and Lewis structures to diagram the formation of PF3 from P and F atoms, showing valence-shell electrons.

  1. How many valence electrons does P have initially?
  2. How many valence electrons does each F have initially?
  3. How many valence electrons surround the P in the PF3 molecule?
  4. How many valence electrons surround each F in the PF3 molecule?
  5. How many bonding pairs of electrons are in the PF3 molecule?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Consider the SO 3 molecule. How many valence electrons does the molecule have?   How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central atom?   How many lone pairs of electrons in total are on the substituent atoms?   How many resonance structures can be drawn for the molecule?  If the ion doesn't exhibit resonance, indicate "1" as only one structure can be drawn for the molecule.
What possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)? [:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure. The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible. The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.
Draw the Lewis structure of acetone, (CH3)2CO(CH3)2CO. Step 1: Identify the number of valence electrons. Step 2: Identify the central atom. Step 3: Establish connectivity of single bonds. Step 4: Identify the number of electrons unaccounted for. Step 5: Complete the structure.   Step 1: How many total valence electrons are in (CH3)2CO(CH3)2CO? Step 2:Identify the central atom in (CH3)2CO Please give clear handwritten answer ..please give detailed answer
