Chapter 6.3, Problem 4PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The incorrect Lewis structure should be identified from the given structures.

Concept Introduction:

• Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the chemical bonding of covalently bonded molecules and coordination compounds.
• It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
• The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

To identify: The incorrect Lewis structure from the given structures.
