Question

Show the Lewis structure of tin(II) chloride acting as a Lewis acid, a Lewis base, and both.

Answer 1

Explanation:

So the dot structure of tin (IV) would have Sn (symbol) in the middle (since it is more electronegative). Now, indicate the valence electrons by putting 4 dots around it. Iodine wants to gain 1 electron, so it has 7 valence electrons. So simply write I and put 7 dots around it.

Answer 2

The Lewis structure of tin chloride is given below

Explanation:

• According to Lewis structure an acid is a substance which accept a pair of electron from other substance. Whereas a Lewis base is a substance which donates a pair of electron to the other substance.

• Here in the Lewis structure of tin chloride there is both acceptance and donation of electron pair by different ions of the substance that is tin and chlorine respectively

• as a result of this it export as a Lewis acid and a Lewis base.
