Question

Represent formation of molecule usinglewis dot structure

Answer 1

Solution: Stepwise formation of molecules using Lewis dot structure includes determination of the total valence electrons in the outer shell.

For cations, one electron should be subtracted and for anions, one electron should be added.

Skeleton structure should be drawn for the molecule arranging the atoms around the central atom.

Remaining electrons should be arranged in order to complete the octet or duplet and place the remaining atoms accordingly.
