Chapter 5, Problem 41E

G. N. Lewis developed a model for chemical bonding that you have learned in this chapter. His theory was extremely successful and is used today at all levels of chemistry, from the introductory class to the research laboratory. Why was Lewis theory so successful?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Review the rules for drawing Lewis structures and try to draw the correct Lewis structures for the molecules shown in part A of this exercise.
Why is the ability to draw a Lewis structure considered a core chemistry skill?
Why is this theory successful? Can you name some of the limitations of the theory? Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. to determine the shape of the molecule or ion to determine the formulas of ionic compounds Lewis theory allows us to account for the paramagnetism of some species (e.g. oxygen) to determine how the bonds in the molecules and ions form to predict what molecules or ions will be stable, which will be more reactive, and which will not exist to account for the low melting points and boiling points of molecular compounds compared to ionic compounds Lewis theory does not allow us Reset Help
