How do you draw the Lewis Structures of each of the following acids? These structures, like most acids, have each H attached to one of the oxygens.

Exposed/naked seed is characteristic of gymnosperm plants.

This of course depends on the polyatomic ion you choose, but... Let's consider a general polyatomic ion, $"A"_m"B"_n^(cpm)$, containing two distinct $"A"$ and $"B"$, of ratio $"A":"B" = m/n$,...

Right from the start, you know that the cation of this ionic compound is the sodium cation, $"Na"^(+)$. You can make this claim because the number of protons present...

A Lewis structure is a type of shorthand notation, a simplistic way of representing the electrons in molecules. It is a starting point for figuring out how the atoms are...

You can find the procedure in , and These show how to draw Lewis structures for the CaF₂, NH₄Br and Al₂(SO₄)₃.

$1.$ $IO_3^-$, we have $7+3xx6+1=26$ electrons to distribute around 4 centres.........i.e. THIRTEEN electron pairs, unlucky for some. $O=ddotI^(+)(-O)_2^-$ so distributes 13 electron pairs. From left to right as we face...

For carbon dioxide there are $6+6+4=16" valence electrons"$, i.e. 8 electron pairs. There are 2 lone pairs around each oxygen atom, and with the 8 electrons involved in the double...

Evidently, a Lewis structure depicts the structure of a molecule. The chemical symbols are the atoms, and the lines are the bonds, containing two . In other words......

However we represent the molecule, we are not going to change its formula, and we certainly are not going to change its chemistry. Nevertheless, as chemists, as physical scientists we...

All I have done is simply expand the formula using the multiplier on the brackets. One formula unit of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ contains $3$ $"magnesium atoms"$, $2$ $"phosphorus atoms"$, and $3$ $"magnesium...
