Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of L-cystine. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), nitrogen (n_N, val = 5), oxygen (n_O, val = 6), and sulfur (n_S, val = 6) atoms: 6 n_C, val + 12 n_H, val + 2 n_N, val + 4 n_O, val + 2 n_S, val = 82 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), oxygen (n_O, full = 8), and sulfur (n_S, full = 8): 6 n_C, full + 12 n_H, full + 2 n_N, full + 4 n_O, full + 2 n_S, full = 136 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 136 - 82 = 54 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 25 bonds already present in the diagram add 2 bonds. To minimize formal charge oxygen wants 2 bonds and carbon wants 4 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom: To fully fill its valence shell, nitrogen will donate one of its electrons, allowing it to form four bonds (atoms on period 2 cannot have an expanded valence shell). Fill in the 2 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms, noting the formal charges of the atoms. Double bonding carbon to the other highlighted oxygen atoms would result in an equivalent molecule: Answer: | |
