Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of dichloro(N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine). 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 nitrogen (n_N, val = 5) atoms: 6 n_C, val + 2 n_Cl, val + 14 n_H, val + 2 n_N, val = 62 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 nitrogen (n_N, full = 8): 6 n_C, full + 2 n_Cl, full + 14 n_H, full + 2 n_N, full = 108 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 108 - 62 = 46 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 23 bonds and hence 46 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 62 - 46 = 16 electrons left to draw: Answer: |   |

Elemental oxidation states

The first step in finding the oxidation states (or oxidation numbers) in dichloro(N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) is to draw the structure diagram. Next set every oxidation number equal to the atom's formal charge:  In dichloro(N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) hydrogen is not bonded to a metal with lower electronegativity, so it will have an oxidation state of +1. Any element bonded to hydrogen gains the bonding electrons, decreasing their oxidation state by 1 for every bond:  With hydrogen out of the way, look at the remaining bonds. There are 2 carbon-chlorine bonds, 6 carbon-nitrogen bonds, and 1 carbon-carbon bond. For each of these bonds, assign the bonding electrons to the most electronegative element.  First examine the carbon-chlorine bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) |  C | 2.55 |  Cl | 3.16 |   | |  Since chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, the electrons in these bonds will go to chlorine. Decrease the oxidation number for chlorine in every highlighted bond (by 1 for single bonds, 2 for double bonds, and 3 for triple bonds), and increase the oxidation number for carbon accordingly:  Next look at the carbon-nitrogen bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) |  C | 2.55 |  N | 3.04 |   | |  Since nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon, the electrons in these bonds will go to nitrogen:  Next look at the carbon-carbon bond: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) |  C | 2.55 |  C | 2.55 |   | |  Since these elements are the same the bonding electrons are shared equally, and there is no change to the oxidation states:  Now summarize the results: Answer: |   | oxidation state | element | count  -3 | N (nitrogen) | 2  -2 | C (carbon) | 4  -1 | Cl (chlorine) | 2  +1 | C (carbon) | 2  | H (hydrogen) | 14
