Using the Lewis structure that obeys the octet rule on the oxygens, what is the formal charge of sulfur in the SO42−ion? Lewis Dot Structures: Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures. A Lewis structure is...
How to calculate formal charge from Lewis structure Lewis Structures: Lewis structures are pictoral diagrams of molecules used to demonstrate the arrangement of covalent bonds between atoms. They are determined by trying to satisfy the octet of each atom whilst ensuring that the total number of vale...
Can σ/π-electron delocalization compensate reduced conformational freedom by lowering the repulsion between identical charges? The crystal structure of the title salt, C14H16N42+·2CF3SO3−, (2), is described and compared with that of the 2,2′′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl) derivative, (4)....
