Hocl Lewis Structure
How to draw a Lewis structure for Cl? 3
I don't know what to use to get unused electrons and is it single bond or double bond? You already know
The molecule should have a total of 14 electrons.
H = 1, O = 6, Cl = 7 .. (This is basically your group or valence electron number.)
1 + 6 + 7 = 14 electrons.
It's going to start like this> HO Cl then add 2 electrons between HO and O Cl.
I will use # to represent a pair of electrons. > H # O # Cl. So far you have used 4 electrons. (Ignore elliptical shapes: ...)
Now let Cl have one whole byte (8 electrons) around it.
................... #
H # O # Cl #
................... #
So far it has eaten 10 electrons. H is one whole byte (you only need 2 electrons). Cl is a whole byte. Place the remaining four electrons (also known as 2 pairs of electrons) around oxygen:
...... # .... #
H # O # Cl #
...... # ..... #
Remember, # means 2 electrons. So now you have used 14 electrons and each atom has one whole byte. This is your last answer. All are individual links. A double bond occurs when two atoms share four electrons.
