Several worked examples relevant to this procedure were given in previous posts please see the post entitled "Lewis Structures & the Octet Rule - Theory & Examples" Let us examine the case of carbonic acid H 2 CO 3 . How can we draw the carbonic acid Lewis dot structure ? Step 1 : Connect the atoms with single bonds.    Fi...

A simple procedure for writing electron Lewis dot structures was given in a previous post entitled “Lewis Structures and the Octet Rule”. Several worked examples relevant to this procedure were given in previous posts please see the Sitemap - Table of Contents (Lewis Electron Dot Structures). Let us examine the case of chlorosulphonic acid HSO3Cl . Chlorosulphonic acid is used to prepare alkyl sulfates , which are useful as detergents and as chemical intermediates. How can we construct the chlorosulphonic acid Lewis dot structure? Step 1 : Connect the atoms with single bonds.  Fig. 1 : Connect the atoms of chlorosulphonic acid with single bonds.   Step 2 :  Calculate the # of electrons in π bonds (pi bonds, multiple bonds) using   formula (1) :  Where n in this case is 5 since   HSO 3 Cl   consists of six atoms but one of them is a H atom. Where V = (1 + 6 + 6 * 3 + 7) = 26   Therefore, P = 6n + 2 – V = 6 * 5 + 2 – 32 = 0   ...

A simple procedure for writing Lewis dot structures was given in a previous post entitled “Lewis Structures and the Octet Rule”. Several worked examples relevant to this procedure were given in previous posts please see the Sitemap - Table of Contents (Lewis Electron Dot Structures). Let us consider the case of acetamide CH 3 CONH 2 Acetamide has many uses and applications such as: As a general solvent (molten acetamide is excellent solvent for many organic and inorganic compounds)  in biocides in preparation of cosmetics and hypnotics,  in various organic and inorganic syntheses,  as a drug intermediate in the manufacture of ampicilline, cephaclor, cephalexin, cephradine, enalapril as an antacid in lacquers and cosmetics as a plasticiser in leather and coatings Step 1 : Connect the atoms with single bonds. Fig. 1 : Connect the atoms of acetamide with single bonds. Step 2 : Calculate the # of electrons in π bonds (pi bonds, multiple bonds)  using   formu...
