Question

Experiment 7: Shapes of Molecules Name: Section: Date:_ Section: Last Name Date: First Name Report Sheet A. Lewis structure of Covalent Compounds and Polyatomic lons. . Draw Lewis Structure of carbon dioxide. What is the central atom? What is the total number of valence electrons? Draw the structural formula connecting the atoms using single bonds. Add electrons (in pairs) to the peripheral atoms until they attain octets (remember the exceptions to octet rule. Place remaining electrons on the central atom If the central atom does not have an octet of electrons, make multiple bonds between the central and peripheral atoms Lew is structure ofCO How many lone pairs are on the central atom? How many atoms are bonded to the central atom? How many electron groups are on the central atom? 2. Draw Lewis Structure of the sulfite ion, SO,2 What is the central atom? What is the total number of valence electrons? Draw the structural formula connecting the atoms using single bonds Add electrons (in pairs) to the peripheral atoms until they attain octets (remember the exceptions to octet rule.) lace remaining clectrons on the central atom If the central atom does not have an octet of electrons, make multiple bonds between the central and peripheral atoms Lew is structure of SO, (unless the central atom is an exception to the octet rule) How many lone pairs are on the central atom How many atoms are bonded to the central atom?
