Answer:
Here's how I would do it.
Explanation:
A Lewis structure shows the valence electrons surrounding the atoms.
1. Identify the central atoms
The central atoms are the least electronegative atoms (C).
I chose as my central atoms a chain of four C atoms: C-C-C-C
I stuck the most electronegative atom (O) at the end of the chain:
C-C-C-C-O
2. Complete the structure
The hydrogen atoms must be terminal. Add enough to give every atom an octet.
You should get a structure like the one below
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
The ionization energy (I) is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous phase.
You can remove electrons in succession and measure the energies required as I₁, I₂, I₃, etc.
Thus, the removal of two electrons from Cu gives you Cu²⁺.
I found the ionization energies of Cu and used them to create those of Cu²⁺ (see table and graph below).
The electron configuration of Cu²⁺ is
Cu²⁺: 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 3d⁹
You can remove the nine 3d electrons and then there is a sudden jump from I₉ to I₁₀ as you break into the filled [Ar] configuration.
Similarly, there is big jump from I₁₇ to I₁₈ as you break into the filled [Ne] configuration.
