Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of benzaldehyde, 3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-. 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), fluorine (n_F, val = 7), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 14 n_C, val + 3 n_F, val + 9 n_H, val + 2 n_O, val = 98 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), fluorine (n_F, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 14 n_C, full + 3 n_F, full + 9 n_H, full + 2 n_O, full = 170 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 170 - 98 = 72 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 29 bonds already present in the diagram add 7 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: Fill in the 7 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: | |
