QUESTION:
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
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Lewis structure:
Structure of a molecule in which bonding between the atoms and of lone pairs of electrons shown is called Lewis structure.
The procedure to draw the Lewis structure of the molecule is as follows:
Sum the valence electrons from all the atoms in a molecule.
Connect all the atoms with a single bond
Complete the octet around all the atoms bonded to the central atom.
Place leftover electrons on the central atom.
Try multiple bonds, if there are not enough electrons to give the central atom an octet.
