Place C in the center and attach 2 Cl atoms to it, and attach 2 H atoms to it. Then place 3 lone pairs of electrons around each Cl atom. That is the Lewis structure.

How do you draw a Lewis structure for Be2 plus?

To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.


Can you draw the Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion?

The Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion (NO) has a nitrogen atom in the center with a single bond to an oxygen atom and a positive charge on the nitrogen atom.


Is NH3 a resonance structure?

No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.


How do the bonds in CH2Cl2 contribute to its molecular structure and properties?

The bonds in CH2Cl2, which is a molecule of dichloromethane, contribute to its molecular structure and properties by creating a tetrahedral shape around the carbon atom. This shape allows for the molecule to have a dipole moment, making it polar. The polar nature of CH2Cl2 gives it a higher boiling point and solubility in polar solvents compared to nonpolar molecules.


Can you draw the Lewis structure for NH3?

The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.

When you draw the Lewis structure for Cl how many odd electrons are there in this atom?

Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?


What atomic particle is used to draw a Lewis Structure of either a molecule or atom?

Valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structures of molecules and atoms. These electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that participate in bonding.


What is the dipole moment of CH2Cl2?

The dipole moment of CH2Cl2 is 1.60 Debye.


What do you use to draw a Lewis structure of either molecule or atom?

To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule or atom, you would typically use symbols to represent the atoms and lines to represent the bonds between atoms. The number of valence electrons for each atom is also considered to determine how the atoms are connected in the structure. Additionally, lone pairs of electrons on atoms are shown to complete their octets and achieve stability.


How do you draw the Lewis structure for an acetate ion?

I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.
