QUESTION:
Represent the following molecules by Lewis structures:
a. \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) (each H atom is bonded to the C atom)
b. \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) (each O atom is bonded to the C atom)
c. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{Se}\) (each H atom is bonded to the Se atom)
d. \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) (each H atom is bonded to the N atom)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The Lewis structures are the structures that are significant in governing the information regarding the bonding and non-bonding electrons of all the atoms. Lewis’ structure is concerned with the valence electrons of all the atoms.
