The Lewis structure of the product, a white molecular solid, is shown in (32). In this reaction, the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of ammonia, H3N , can be regarded as completing boron s octet in BF3 by forming a coordinate covalent bond.

E—Drawing one or more Lewis structures may help you. Only C and E are polar. Only the ammonia has hydrogen bonding, which is very, very polar. 

Draw Lewis structures for methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and water (H20). Notice the location of each shared and unshared pair of electrons. 

All Br0nsted-Lowry acids are Lewis acids, but in practice, the term Lewis acid is generally reserved for Lewis acids that don t also fit the Bronsted-Lowry definition. The best way to spot a Lewis acid-base pair is to draw a Lewis dot structure of the reacting substances, noting the presence of lone pairs of electrons. (We introduce Lewis structures in Chapter 5.) For example, consider the reaction between ammonia (NH3) and boron trifluoride (BFj) ... 

Thermal activation of the clay up to 600°C results in a simultaneous loss of ammonia and structural hydroxyl groups. During decomposition, the ammonium ions release protons to the clay framework. Infrared spectra of dehydrated SMM samples exposed to ammonia vapor showed small amounts of ammonium ions and Lewis-bound ammonia. The ammonium ion was thought to result from interaction with silanol groups at crystal edges. Partially dehydrated samples adsorbed larger amounts of ammonia, and a greater proportion was present as ammonium ion, probably because of the lesser extent of dehydroxylation. 

The electrons of an electron-pair bond need not be contributed by both of the bonding atoms, as is demonstrated in the formation of the ammonium ion by the addition of a proton to ammonia. The Lewis structures for these two entities are shown in Fig. 9-13 recall that H+ has no electrons. Such a bond is often called a coordinate covalent bond, but is essentially no different from any other covalent bond. The special name indicates that one of the members of the bond brings to the process of bonding any electrons. In this particular case, once the bond has formed, it becomes indistinguishable from the other three N—H bonds in the molecule with the structure being a regular tetrahedron. 

As you look at this Lewis structure, notice that there are four pairs of electrons. There are three shared pairs, denoted by the lines, and one unshared pair, represented by the dots above the N atom. The unshared pair is also called a lone pair. Ammonia s four pairs of electrons are all valence electrons. The shape that allows these four pairs of electrons to be as far from each other as possible places them at the corners of a tetrahedron, as shown in Figure 9.6. This is called electron group geometry. The arrangement of the atoms is called molecular geometry, which in this case is pyramidal. 

Drawing the Lewis structure of a molecule can help you determine the molecule s shape. In Figure 3.30, you can see the shape of the ammonia, NH3, molecule. The ammonia molecule has three bonding electron pairs and one lone pair on its central atom, all arranged in a nearly tetrahedral shape. Because there is one lone pair, the molecule s shape is pyramidal. The molecule methane, CH4, is shown in Figure 3.31. This molecule has four bonding pairs on its central atom and no lone pairs. 

In this reaction a proton is donated by the hydrogen chloride to the ammonia, as shown by these Lewis structures ... 

The LE model is a simple but very successful model, and the rules we have used for Lewis structures apply to most molecules. To implement this model we have relied heavily on the octet rule. So far we have treated molecules for which this rule is easily applied. However, inevitably, cases arise where the importance of an octet of electrons is called into question. Boron, for example, tends to form compounds in which the boron atom has fewer than eight electrons around it—it does not have a complete octet. Boron trifluoride (BF3), a gas at normal temperatures and pressures, reacts very energetically with molecules such as water and ammonia that have available lone pairs. The violent reactivity of BF3 with electron-rich molecules occurs because the boron atom is electron-deficient. Boron trifluoride has 24 valence electrons. The Lewis structure that seems most consistent with the properties of BF3 is... 

The VSEPR model is very simple. There are only a few rules to remember, yet the model correctly predicts the molecular structures of most molecules formed from nonmetallic elements. Molecules of any size can be treated by applying the VSEPR model to each appropriate atom (those bonded to at least two other atoms) in the molecule. Thus we can use this model to predict the structures of molecules with hundreds of atoms. It does, however, fail in a few instances. For example, phosphine (PH5), which has a Lewis structure analogous to that of ammonia,... 

Likewise, group 5 A elements form three covalent bonds with atoms of non-metals. Nitrogen is a group 5A element with the electron configuration of ls 2s 2p. Ammonia (NH3) contains three single covalent bonds and one lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. Figure 9-3b shows the Lewis structure...

An ammonia molecule consists of three hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen atom. How are these atoms placed relative to each other In order to answer this question we will write down the Lewis structure according to the guidelines given in (2- 2) on page 59. 

In an ammonia molecule all bonds are single bonds. Sometime in order to satisfy the octet rule when Lewis structures are to be written down for certain molecules it is necessary to let more than one electron pair go into a bond. This leads to a higher bond order than 1. We are going to look at such a case for a molecule of carbon dioxide.
