Types of Chemical Bonds
The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…
Polarizability In Organic Chemistry
Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.
Coordinate Covalent Bonds
A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

Chapter 7, Problem 7.18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure for the resonance forms, formal charges and bonding in acetate ion has to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis Structure:  A Lewis structure shows a covalent bond as pair of electrons shared between two atoms.

Formal charge (F.C):  The charges that assigned to each atom in a molecule or ion by a set of arbitrary rules and don not actually represent the actual charges on the atoms are called as formal charges.

The formal charge is calculated using the formula,

  F.C=Valence electrons-No of non-bonding electrons-No of bonding electrons2

The Lewis structure with zero formal charge or least separated formal charges is the preferred structure of the molecule.

Resonance:  Each of the individual Lewis formulas is said to be a resonance form and the use of multiple Lewis formula is called resonance.  The two dashed lines taken together represent a pair of bonding electrons that spread over the two bonds.  Such a superimposed formula is called resonance hybrid because it is a hybrid of the various resonance forms.

Please explain how to calculate the pH.
I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!
