Nh3o Lewis Structure

Questions about the Lewis structure? ۔

What are the rules for deciding which element to use as a hub? The type I'm working with is NH3O. I think hydrogen can never be the center. But do you choose between oxygen and nitrogen? My note says to use the least electronegativity. Do you know what the lowest is? Can anyone explain that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You must follow the byte rule.

You're right, hydrogen and fluorine are never in between.

N is the central atom for NH3O, in other words the element that comes first becomes the central atom, except for hydrogen and fluorine.

You need the electro-negativity table to the right of the highest electro-negativity table.

As you walk, divide, shrink.

You can always search and find the electro negativity table. If you can't find or use an electro-negativity table, an IC table can be your guide. Fluorine (top right in Table ic) has the highest electronegativity and its value is lower than that of fluorine on both the left and the right.

But, in general, oxygen will not be the central atom, but another non-metallic atom. You are right that hydrogen is impossible because it can only bind other atoms.

What are the rules for deciding which element to use as the center? The species I work with is NH3O. I think hydrogen can never be the center. But what is your choice between oxygen and nitrogen? In my notes, it says use with minimal electrical negativity. Do you know what's less? Can anyone explain that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You can always search and find the Electronegativity Table. If you can't find or use an electronegativity table, the ic table can be your guide. Fluorine (in the upper right corner of Table ic) is the most electrically negative and has a lower left and lower value than fluorine.

But, in general, oxygen will be another non-metallic atom, not the central atom. You are right that hydrogen is impossible because it can only bind to other atoms.
