Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of hydroxido ligand needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures. It gives a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. The covalent bonding of a molecule or ion is represented using simple representation as dots. The sharing of electrons is to get a stable octet structure. These electrons shared are represented as dots and it represents each atom to have eight electrons. The connectivity between the atoms within a molecule is represented easily. It is the valence electrons that are represented. Hence, even lone pairs can be indicated in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of sulfato ligand needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures. It gives a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule.
