formula | [HOCH_2CH_2N(CH_3)_3]+1 Hill formula | C_5H_14NO+ name | choline ion IUPAC name | 2-hydroxyethyl-trimethyl-azanium alternate names | choline | ethanaminium, 2-hydroxy-N, N, N-trimethyl- mass fractions | C (carbon) 57.6% | H (hydrogen) 13.5% | N (nitrogen) 13.4% | O (oxygen) 15.4%
Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of choline ion. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), nitrogen (n_N, val = 5), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms, including the net charge: 5 n_C, val + 14 n_H, val + n_N, val + n_O, val - n_charge = 44 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), nitrogen (n_N, full = 8), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 5 n_C, full + 14 n_H, full + n_N, full + n_O, full = 84 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 84 - 44 = 40 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 20 bonds and hence 40 bonding electrons in the diagram. Fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 44 - 40 = 4 electrons left to draw. Lastly, fill in the formal charges: Answer: | |
