Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of
is shown below.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is, ![NH_3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=NH_3)
As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in
= 5 + 3(1) = 8
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.
Formula for formal charge :
![\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFormal%20charge%7D%3D%5Ctext%7BValence%20electrons%7D-%5Ctext%7BNon-bonding%20electrons%7D-%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BBonding%20electrons%7D%7D%7B2%7D)
![\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFormal%20charge%20on%20N%7D%3D5-2-%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B2%7D%3D0)
![\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFormal%20charge%20on%20%7DH_1%3D1-0-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B2%7D%3D0)
![\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFormal%20charge%20on%20%7DH_2%3D1-0-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B2%7D%3D0)
![\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BFormal%20charge%20on%20%7DH_3%3D1-0-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B2%7D%3D0)
Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of
is shown below.
Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
