Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of 1, 1-bis(3, 4-dimethylphenyl)ethane. 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) and hydrogen (n_H, val = 1) atoms: 18 n_C, val + 22 n_H, val = 94 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8) and hydrogen (n_H, full = 2): 18 n_C, full + 22 n_H, full = 188 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 188 - 94 = 94 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 41 bonds already present in the diagram add 6 bonds. To minimize formal charge carbon wants 4 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom:  Fill in the 6 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms. Note that the six atom rings are aromatic, so that the single and double bonds may be rearranged: Answer: |   |

Elemental oxidation states

The first step in finding the oxidation states (or oxidation numbers) in 1, 1-bis(3, 4-dimethylphenyl)ethane is to draw the structure diagram. Next set every oxidation number equal to the atom's formal charge:  In 1, 1-bis(3, 4-dimethylphenyl)ethane 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:  There are 19 carbon-carbon bonds. Since these are bonds between the same element, bonding electrons are shared equally, and there is no change to the oxidation states: Now summarize the results: Answer: |   | oxidation state | element | count  -3 | C (carbon) | 5  -1 | C (carbon) | 7  0 | C (carbon) | 6  +1 | H (hydrogen) | 22

Orbital hybridization

First draw the structure diagram for 1, 1-bis(3, 4-dimethylphenyl)ethane, and for every non-hydrogen atom, count the σ-bonds.
