Another Approach to Writing Lewis Structures

When we write Lewis structures using this method, we assemble the molecule or ion from the constituent atoms showing only the valence electrons (i.e., the electrons of the outermost shell). By having the atoms share electrons, we try to give each atom the electronic structure of a noble gas. For example, we give hydrogen atoms two electrons because this gives them the structure of helium. We give carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and uorine atoms eight electrons because this gives them the electronic structure of neon. The number of valence electrons of an atom can be obtained from the periodic table because it is equal to the group number of the atom. Carbon, for example, is in Group IVA and has four valence electrons; uorine, in Group VIIA, has seven; hydrogen, in Group 1A, has one. As an illustration, let us write the Lewis structure for CH3 F. In the example below, we will at rst show a hydrogens electron as x, carbons electrons as os, and uorines electrons as dots.
Example A
3 H , C , and F are assembled as H H H C F or H C F H H If the structure is an ion, we add or subtract electrons to give it the proper charge. As an example, consider the chlorate ion, ClO3 .
Example B
Cl , and O and an extra electron are assembled as

1.12 (a) In its ground state, the valence electrons of carbon might be disposed as shown in the following gure. The electronic conguration of a ground state carbon atom: The p orbitals are designated 2 px , 2 p y , and 2 pz to indicate their respective orientations along the x, y, and z axes. The 2s 2py assignment of the unpaired electrons to the 2 p y and 2 px orbitals is arbitrary. They could also have been placed in the 2 px C 2px and 2 pz or 2 p y and 2 pz orbitals. (To have placed them both 2pz in the same orbital would not have been correct, however, for this would have violated Hunds rule.) (Section 1.10A) The formation of the covalent bonds of methane from individual atoms requires that the carbon atom overlap its orbitals containing single electrons with 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms (which also contain a single electron). If a ground state carbon atom were to combine with hydrogen atoms in this way, the result would be that depicted below. Only two carbon-hydrogen bonds would be formed, and these would be at right angles to each other. The hypothetical formation of CH2 from a carbon atom in its ground state:

(b) An excited-state carbon atom might combine with four hydrogen atoms as shown in the gure above. The promotion of an electron from the 2s orbital to the 2 pz orbital requires energy. The amount of energy required has been determined and is equal to 400 kJ mol1 . This expenditure of energy can be rationalized by arguing that the energy released when two additional covalent bonds form would more than compensate for that required to excite the electron. No doubt this is true, but it solves only one problem. The problems that cannot be solved by using an excited-state carbon as a basis for a model of methane are the problems of the carbon-hydrogen bond angles and the apparent equivalence of all four carbon-hydrogen bonds. Three of the hydrogensthose overlapping their 1s orbitals with the three p orbitalswould, in this model, be at angles of 90 with respect to each other; the fourth hydrogen, the one overlapping its 1s orbital with the 2s orbital of carbon, would be at some other angle, probably as far from the other bonds as the connes of the molecule would allow. Basing our model of methane on this excited state of carbon gives us a carbon that is tetravalent but one that is not tetrahedral, and it predicts a structure for methane in which one carbon-hydrogen bond differs from the other three.
