Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for the given compound is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Chemical compounds contain two types of bonds. These are known as ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, the ions are held by the electrostatic interaction between them. In covalent bonds, the atoms are held together by the sharing of electrons. The unpaired electrons of an atom are shown by the dot in the structure. Such representations of atoms are known as Lewis structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for the given compound is to be drawn.
