Electron Lewis structure

Lewis structure electron dot structure dot structure. A model pioneered by Gilbert N. Lewis and Irving Langmuir that represents the electronic structure of a molecule by writing the valence electrons of atoms as dots. Pairs of dots (or lines) wedged between atoms represent bonds dots drawn elsewhere represent nonbonding electrons.

Draw Lewis structures (electron-dot formulas) for all the substances in the reaction equation, identify each reactant as a Br0nsted acid or base, and then propose a definition for an acid and a base based on the ability of the substance to accept or donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.

PROBLEM 7.61 The following molecules can form conjugate bases by loss of a proton from more than one position (arrows). Start by drawing a good Lewis structure (electron dots are deliberately left out) and then choose which proton wiU be lost more easily. Explain your choice. 

A diatomic molecule is a molecule that consists of two identical atoms joined together by covalent bonds. For example, hydrogen gas exists as diatomic molecules, H2. The structure of a hydrogen molecule, H2, can be shown by using a Lewis structure (electron dot diagram) (Figure 4.24). A pair of electrons can be represented by dots, crosses, a combination of dots and crosses or by a line. Many chemists prefer to use a combination of dots and crosses so that it is clear which atom contributed the electrons.

Lewis structures (electron dot diagrams) are shown in Figure 4.25 for the chlorine molecule, CI2. Note that the lone (unshared) pairs of electrons must be represented and that Cl-Cl is not a Lewis structure since it does not display the lone pairs of the two chlorine atoms. Lewis structures only include the outer or valence electrons since these are the electrons involved in bonding.

In some molecules and polyatomic ions, both electrons to be shared come from the same atom. The covalent bond formed is known as a coordinate or dative covalent bond. In Lewis structures (electron dot diagrams), a coordinate or dative bond is often denoted by an arrow pointing from the atom which donates the lone pair to the atom which receives it. 

Some molecules and ions have structures that cannot he represented by one Lewis structure (electron dot diagram) only. For example, the gas trioxygen (ozone), O3, consists of molecules that can be represented by two Lewis (electron dot) structures as shown in Figure 4.40. The double-headed arrow represents resonance and the curly arrows show movement of electron pairs.
