Commonly Tested Lewis Structures
We draw Lewis Structures to predict:
-the shape of a molecule.
-the reactivity of a molecule and how it might interact with other molecules.
-the physical properties of a molecule such as boiling point, surface tension, etc.
Drawing the Lewis Structure for NH2OH
Video: Drawing the Lewis Structure for NH2OH
For the NH2OH Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons for the NH2OH molecule. After determining how many valence electrons there are in NH2OH , place them around the central atom to complete the octets.
We'll write the Lewis structure for NH2OH as shown in the chemical formula and put and the OH to the central Nitrogen (N) atom.
There are a total of 14 valence electrons in the NH2OH Lewis structure.
It is helpful if you:
- Try to draw the NH2OH Lewis structure before watching the video.
- Watch the video and see if you missed any steps or information.
- Try structures similar to NH2OH for more practice.
