Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), fluorine (n_F, val = 7), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 2 n_C, val + 6 n_F, val + 2 n_O, val = 62 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), fluorine (n_F, full = 8), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 2 n_C, full + 6 n_F, full + 2 n_O, full = 80 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 80 - 62 = 18 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 9 bonds and hence 18 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 62 - 18 = 44 electrons left to draw: Answer: | |
