Question

summarize the first step in drawing lewis dot structures, including deciding which atom will be in the central position,

Answer 1

Summarize the steps in drawing lewis dot structures are as:

• Step 1. Determine the total number of valence electrons to be depicted in the Lewis diagram.
• Step 2. Place least electronegative element in given compound, in center and draw single bonds from the central atom to other atoms.
• Step 3. Determine how many electrons must be added to central element.
• Step 4. Add double or triple bonds to central atom until it has a full octet

• Step 5. Add electrons to outer elements until they have full octets.

For example : Ammonia ( NH3)
