Structures and Formal Charge

Step 2 The total number of valence electrons is 16, six from each S atom and four from the C atom [2(6) + 4 = 16], [Pg.315]

Step 3 Subtract four electrons to account for the bonds in the skeletal structure, leaving us 12 electrons to distribute. [Pg.315]

Step 4 Distribute the 12 remaining electrons as three lone pairs on each S atom. [Pg.315]

Step 5 There are no electrons remaining after step 4, so step 5 does not apply. [Pg.315]

Step 6 To complete carbon s octet, use one lone pair from each S atom to make a double bond to the C atom. [Pg.315]

Self-Test 2.8A Suggest a likely structure for the poisonous gas phosgene, COCL. Write its Lewis structure and formal charges. [Pg.196]

C09-0069. Determine the Lewis structure of each of the following polyatomic ions. Include all resonance structures and formal charges, where appropriate (a) NO3 (b) HSO4 (c) C03 and (d)... [Pg.646]

For each of the following species, provide the best Lewis structure (include resonance structures and formal charges where necessary) and determine the bond order between the central atom and an attached atom a) P04 b) C103 c) TeCl4 d) Xe04 e) CO32-. [Pg.102]

Oxidation numbers are an accounting system for electrons (Lewis structures and formal charge are also accounting systems for electrons). One of the main uses of oxidation numbers (but not the only use) is to locate the oxidized and reduced species in redox reactions. For example, the oxidized and reduced species are not obvious in the following reactions ... [Pg.286]

Consider the base hydroxylamine, NH2OH. (a) What is the conjugate acid of hydroxylamine (b) When it acts as a base, which atom in hydroxylamine accepts a proton (c) There are two atoms in hydroxylamine that have nonbonding electron pairs that could act as proton acceptors. Use Lewis structures and formal charges >= (Section 8.5) to rationalize why one of these two atoms is a much better proton acceptor than the other. [Pg.698]

Now let us look at a slightly more complex situation involving electron-dot structures and formal charge. [Pg.19]
