Chapter 6.3, Problem 6.2PSP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible structure of the three chlorine atoms on a three-Carbon chain has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis structure otherwise known as Lewis dot diagrams or electron dot structures.

The bond between atoms and lone pairs of electrons that is present in the molecule.  Lewis structure represents each atom and their position in structure using the chemical symbol.  Excess electrons forms the lone pair are given by pair of dots, and are located next to the atom.
