Draw the Lewis structure for (CH3)4NCI, a salt.
Draw the Lewis structure by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons.
For the following three Lewis structures, list whether they are correct or incorrect:
alt-text for image above: The first image shows a proposed Lewis structure for Freon-13, CClF3, that has a central carbon singly bonded to a three chlorine atoms and a fluorine atom. Each chlorine and the fluorine have 3 lone pairs of electrons around them. The second image shows a proposed lewis structure for the nitrite ion, NO2-, as a central nitrogen atom between two oxygen atoms. The O atom on the left has three lone pairs of electrons and then a single bond between the N. The right O atom has two lone pairs of electrons and a double bond with the N atom. The N atom has a single lone pair of electrons in addition to the double and single bonds with oxygen atoms. The third image shows diazomethane, CH2N2, and the proposed Lewis structure has a carbon singly bonded to two H atoms, then doubly bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen is doubly bonded to the second nitrogen, and the second nitrogen has…
10.) The structural formula of a certain aldehyde (related to formaldehyde) is H3C-CH2-CHO. Draw a Lewis structure for this aldehyde and determine the number of bonds present. Note that a single or a double or a triple bond counts as one bond.
Write the number, not the word.
