Question
Chapter 6.6, Problem 8PPC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of species with unpaired electrons should be identified.
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.
- In some cases the atoms in a molecule are surrounded by odd number of electrons and is an exception for octet rule. These type of molecule are known as free radicals and they are highly reactive.

When atoms react to form chemical bonds, only the electrons in the outermost or
valence shell are involved. Thus, the configuration of the valence shell is important
in bond formation. In order to place emphasis on the electrons in the outermost shell,
a special symbol known as Lewis diagram (also called electron-dot structures) is used.
Assuming that, element P has seven electrons, while element Q has eight electrons.
When element P shared electrons with element Q, it will form an anion.
Illustrate a 'dot and cross' diagram to show the bonding between element P and
element Q.
Based on the diagram, indicate the shape and the angle bond. Explain your answer.
The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element.
(Express your answer as a chemical symbol.)

Write electron configurations and Lewis structures for each element. Indicate which of the electrons in the electron configuration are shown in the Lewis structure.(a) Ca(b) Ga(c) As(d) I

- Part C Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the internuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Consider that the atomic radius (sometimes called the covalent or bonding atomic radius) of an element is defined as one-half the distance between the bonded atoms in a homonuclear diatomic molecule. Actual bond lengths in molecules are determined experimentally by such methods as X-ray diffraction and microwave spectroscopy. However, these atomic radii values can be used to give an estimate of the upper limit of bond length in other (heteronuclear) molecules. Given that the atomic radii of H and F are 37.0 pm and 72.0 pm, respectively, predict the upper limit of the bond length of the HF molecule.
