Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A Lewis structure for a molecule in which the central atom lacks an octet is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In Lewis structures, dots are used to represent the valence electrons.
Structures with octets (eight dots) or duets (two dots) are stable configurations.
The atoms in a molecule are linked together with each other through
Atoms can share more than one electron pair to form a complete octet resulting in multiple bonds.
