The Lewis formula refers to a diagram showing the distribution of electrones and in case of a molecule it also shows the bonds.
The structural formula on the other hand is a representation of the molecular structure that shows all the atoms that form the molecule, arranged in a three dimentional space,
In this case we have the hydrogen ion, which is the simpliest case we can have.
Hydrogen ion is the hydrogen atom possitively charged as it has lost his electron. Therefore the structural formula is simply the following:
The Lewis formula is also very simple as this ion has no electrons and has no bonding to other atoms:
Answer:
1) positive
2) carbocation
3) most stable
4) faster
Explanation:
A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.
The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.
Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.
Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
