Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of 1, 2-diiodoethane. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule:  Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and iodine (n_I, val = 7) atoms: 2 n_C, val + 4 n_H, val + 2 n_I, val = 26 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and iodine (n_I, full = 8): 2 n_C, full + 4 n_H, full + 2 n_I, full = 40 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 40 - 26 = 14 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 7 bonds and hence 14 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 26 - 14 = 12 electrons left to draw: Answer: |   |
