Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of arsenic trioxide. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the arsenic (n_As, val = 5) and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 2 n_As, val + 3 n_O, val = 28 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for arsenic (n_As, full = 8) and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 2 n_As, full + 3 n_O, full = 40 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 40 - 28 = 12 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 4 bonds already present in the diagram add 2 bonds. To minimize formal charge arsenic wants 3 bonds and oxygen wants 2 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom: Fill in the 2 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms: Answer: | |
