Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of 10-chloro-1-decanol. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), chlorine (n_Cl, val = 7), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 10 n_C, val + n_Cl, val + 21 n_H, val + n_O, val = 74 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), chlorine (n_Cl, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 10 n_C, full + n_Cl, full + 21 n_H, full + n_O, full = 138 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 138 - 74 = 64 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 32 bonds and hence 64 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 74 - 64 = 10 electrons left to draw: Answer: | |
