Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of the reduced product of quinone has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structures represent covalent bonds and describe valence electrons configuration of atoms. The covalent bonds are depicted by lines and unshared electron pairs by pairs of dots. The sequence to write Lewis structure of some molecule is given as follows:
- The central atom is identified and various other atoms are arranged around it. This central atom so chosen is often the least electronegative.
- Total valence electrons is estimated.
- A single bond is first placed between each atom pair.
- The electrons left can be allocated as unshared electron pairs or as multiple bonds around the right
symbol of the element to satisfy the octet (or duplet) for each atom. - Add charge on the overall structure in case of polyatomic cation or anion.
The formal charge on each atom in the Lewis structure can be calculated from the equation written as follows:
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
The atom in Lewis structure that is negatively charged has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The sites that have high probability of attack by protons in reduced form of quinone have to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
