yeah im not sure how to draw it out but ill explain it, first the valence electrons C has four e-, H has 1 e-x2 so 2e-, and Cl has 7 e- x2 so 14e- and added all up together the structure has 20e-, C would be your central atom because C likes to form 4 bonds. so off of the C would be your two Cls and two Hs. that will use up 8 of the e-, the remaining 12 you will put around the two Cls (six on each). i wish i knew how to draw it but hopefully this explanation helped slightly.

(ignore the ">" without them the formatting is off because this program removes extra spaces for some reason. Hope this helps)

Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?

No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.


How do you draw a Lewis structure for CH2Cl2?

To draw the Lewis structure for CH2Cl2, start by calculating the total number of valence electrons (4 for C, 1 for H, 7 for Cl). Place the least electronegative atom in the center (C). Connect H and Cl to C with single bonds. Place lone pairs on Cl to satisfy the octet rule. Double check that all atoms have a full octet.


Expiain what is Lewis dot structure?

A Lewis dot structure is a 2D way of representing a 3D covalent compound. The chemical symbols are connected by lines which represent a pair of shared electrons.


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.


What is the Lewis structure of ligroin?

Ligroin, or benzine (also known as petroleum ether) is not a specific compound, but a range of hydrocarbons that result during fractional distillation of petroleum. There is no Lewis dot structure for a mixture.

What is the Lewis structure for calcium nitride?

The Lewis structure for calcium nitride (Ca3N2) consists of one calcium atom with two nitrogen atoms bonded to it. The calcium atom donates two electrons to each nitrogen atom, forming ionic bonds. The calcium atom has a 2+ charge, while each nitrogen atom has a 3- charge.


What is the dipole moment of CH2Cl2?

The dipole moment of CH2Cl2 is 1.60 Debye.


NACL3 Lewis structure?

A couple problems with this question: 1. There is no such compound as NaCl3. 2. Sodium is an alkali metal and Cl is a halogen, and the two would always form the ionic compound NaCl, not a covalent compound. You cannot draw Lewis structures for ionic compounds. You can draw Lewis electron diagrams for the individual ions (Na+ and Cl-), but not a structure for the ionic compound.


Is C2H2 an isomer?

No, C2H2 (acetylene) is not an isomer because it is a specific chemical compound with a unique structure consisting of two carbon atoms connected by a triple bond. Isomers are different compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms.
