Chapter 23, Problem 23.15P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The line drawing nitrogen containing compound is to be drawn and formal charge on each atom is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The line drawing is a chemical structure in which carbon and hydrogen molecules are not drawn. In these types of structures, lines are used to draw structure representing molecules. In the electron dot structure, the lone pair of electrons is represented as two dots on the respective symbol of the atom.

Formal charge is the charge present on each atom in the molecule; it is calculated by the following formula:

Formal Charge  = Number of valence electrons on atom − [Number of non-bonded electrons + Number of bonds].
