Lewis structure
![Draw the Lewis structure of metasilicic acid. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), oxygen (n_O, val = 6), and silicon (n_Si, val = 4) atoms: 2 n_H, val + 3 n_O, val + n_Si, val = 24 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), oxygen (n_O, full = 8), and silicon (n_Si, full = 8): 2 n_H, full + 3 n_O, full + n_Si, full = 36 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 36 - 24 = 12 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 5 bonds already present in the diagram add 1 bond. To minimize formal charge silicon wants 4 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 1 bond by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms: Answer: | |](../image_source/dbd21fbd3be2bec4bdc27659b5a74c69.png)
