Lewis structure water

Electron Delocalization in the Conjugate Base With a of —1 4 nitnc acid is almost completely ionized m water If we look at the Lewis structure of nitric acid m light of what we have said about inductive effects we can see why The N atom m nitric acid IS not only electronegative m its own right but bears a formal charge of +1 which enhances its ability to attract electrons away from the —OH group... 

Compare and contrast the electrostatic potential map of a typical detergent with that of a typical soap (stearate). Which part of each molecule will be most water soluble (hydrophilic) Draw a Lewis structure that describes each molecule s water-soluble group (make sure you indicate all necessary formal charges and lone pairs). Which part(s) of each molecule will be most grease soluble (lipophilic) What kinds of atoms and bonds are found in these groups ...

Creating the Lewis structures of molecules is a method for determining the sequence of bonding within a molecule and its three-dimensional shape. This works best for covalently bonded molecules, but can also work for ionic compounds. For example, this method can be used to explain why the sequence of bonding in water is H-O-H, rather than H-H-O, and why it has a bent structure, rather than linear. 

Figure 11.10 Lewis structures of water (H20). (a) shows two possible configurations of water, but only H-O-H satisfies the electronic requirements of the oxygen atom, (b) shows three possible bond distributions for this structure, but only one (with a single bond to each of the hydrogens and two lone pairs on the oxygen) meets the requirements of all three atoms, (c) shows the bent structure of H-O-H which follows from the need to separate the two lone pairs and two single bonds as far as possible in the three-dimensional molecule, (d) shows a space-filling version of this arrangement, where the oxygen is black and the two hydrogens white.

You have seen examples of how Lewis structures can be used to assign oxidation numbers for polar molecules such as water, non-polar molecules such as chlorine, and polar polyatomic ions such as the cyanide ion. 

Sodium nitrite is used as a preservative in processed meats, such as bacon, ham, and sausage. The nitrite ion, NO2U may enter the ground water in rural areas where manure is stored and be a serious health threat for infants. Draw a Lewis structure, and predict the shape of NO2X Indicate any resonance structures.

In the reaction of sulfur dioxide with water, S02 functions as a Lewis acid. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction, using Lewis structures. 

Determine the shape of the water molecule (H20). Rewrite its Lewis structure using the correct shape. 

A complete structural model for a molecule also shows the positions of electrons not involved in covalent bonding. For example, in the Lewis structures of formaldehyde and water (Figure 2.1), the oxygen atom in each carries two pairs of unshared electrons from the outer valence shell. Each of these electrons, not involved in a covalent bond, is represented by a dot. The oxygen atom in water has four nonbonding electrons, and the oxygen atom in formaldehyde carries two pairs of unshared electrons, represented by four dots on the oxygen atoms of the two molecules in the Lewis structure. 

FIGURE 2.1 Lewis structures for formaldehyde (left) and water (right) show the presence of four electrons (each represented by a dot) on the oxygen atoms of the two molecules. These electrons are not involved in the formation of any bond. The pairs of electrons involved in holding the molecule together are represented by lines.
