(a)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure of CF4 must be drawn.
Concept Introduction :
Lewis dot structure is the representation of a molecule with the valence electrons shown as dots.
(a)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of CF4 is given below.
.
Explanation of Solution
C has 4 valence electrons. F has 7 valence electrons. Thus one carbon is covalently bonded with 4 F atoms. There are three lone pairs of electrons on each F atom. Accordingly Lewis structure is shown as follows:

Concept Introduction :
Lewis dot structure is the representation of a molecule with the valence electrons shown as dots.
(b)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of CH3Cl is given below.
.
Explanation of Solution
C has 4 valence electrons. Cl has 7 valence electrons. H has one valence electron. Thus one carbon is covalently bonded with 3 H atoms and 1 Cl. There are three lone pairs of electrons on Cl atom. Accordingly Lewis structure is shown as follows:
(c)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure of SiCl2H2 must be drawn.
Concept Introduction :
Lewis dot structure is the representation of a molecule with the valence electrons shown as dots.
(c)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of SiCl2H2 is given below.
.
Explanation of Solution
Si has 4 valence electrons, Cl has 7 valence electrons and H has one valence electron. Thus one carbon is covalently bonded with 2 H atoms and 2 Cl atoms. There are three lone pairs of electrons on Cl atom. Accordingly Lewis structure is shown as follows:
(d)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure of CH3OH must be drawn.
Concept Introduction :
Lewis dot structure is the representation of a molecule with the valence electrons shown as dots.
(d)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of CH3OH is given below:
.
Explanation of Solution
C has 4 valence electrons. O has 6 valence electrons. H has one valence electron. Thus one carbon is covalently bonded with 3 H atoms and 1 O atom. The O atom is bonded with central carbon atom and one hydrogen atom. There are 2 lone pairs of electrons on O atom. Accordingly, Lewis structure is shown as follows:
(e)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure of HOCl must be drawn.
Concept Introduction :

(e)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of HOCl is given below.
.
Explanation of Solution
O has 6 valence electrons, Cl has 7valence electrons and H has one valence electron. Thus one central O is covalently bonded with 1 H atoms and 1 Cl atom. There are 2 lone pairs of electrons on O atom and 3 lone pairs of electrons on Cl atom. Accordingly Lewis structure is shown as follows
(f)
Interpretation:
Lewis dot structure of CH3NH2 must be drawn.
Concept Introduction :
Lewis dot structure is the representation of a molecule with the valence electrons shown as dots.
(f)

Answer to Problem 5E
Lewis dot structure of CH3NH2 is given below.
.
Explanation of Solution
C has 4 valence electrons, N has 5 valence electrons and H has one valence electron. Thus one central C is covalently bonded with 3 H atoms and 1 N atom. N atom is covalently bonded with central C atom and two hydrogen atoms. There are 2 lone pairs of electrons on N atom. Accordingly Lewis structure is shown as follows:

- b) Certain cyclic compounds are known to be conformationally similar to carbohydrates, although they are not themselves carbohydrates. One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the four structures.
