Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of 5-bromo-2-chloroanisole. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the bromine (n_Br, val = 7), carbon (n_C, val = 4), chlorine (n_Cl, val = 7), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: n_Br, val + 7 n_C, val + n_Cl, val + 6 n_H, val + n_O, val = 54 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for bromine (n_Br, full = 8), carbon (n_C, full = 8), chlorine (n_Cl, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): n_Br, full + 7 n_C, full + n_Cl, full + 6 n_H, full + n_O, full = 92 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 92 - 54 = 38 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 16 bonds already present in the diagram add 3 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 3 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms. Note that the six atom ring is aromatic, so that the single and double bonds may be rearranged: Answer: | |
