Chapter 26, Problem 5E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Lewis structure for ${\text{CH}}_3{\text{CBr}}_2{\text{CH}}_2{\text{CH}}_3$ should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Lewis structure for ${\text{HOCH(CH}}_3{\text{)CH}}_2{\text{CH}}_3$ should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Lewis structure for ${\text{CF}}_3\text{COOH}$ should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

• Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
• Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
• Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)
