QUESTION:
Following are several Lewis structures showing all valence electrons. Assign formalcharges in each structure as appropriate.
ANSWER:Key concept
Lewis structure
Simplified representation of molecules where bonding pairs are represented as lines and valence electrons are marked as dots and formal charges are marked if there.
Valence shell
Valence shell is the shell that contains valence electrons. In fact, it's the shell with the highest energy and it's responsible for the behavior of an element. It can either take electrons, or let them go, depending on the element.
Valence electrons
Valence electrons are electrons that are placed in a valence shell and define behavior of chemical elements.
Step 1 of 7
Given several Lewis structures showing all valence electrons. We need to assign formal charges in each structure as appropriate.
