Solution Summary
This solution determines the number of electrons on each element of a molecule as well as their formal charge to show how many electrons should appear in the Lewis Structure. The refractive index and mole fraction is used to determine formula change.
Solution Preview
Lewis electron count:
H3O + : The number of electrons on O are 6.
The number of electrons on H atom are 1.
Number of H atoms bonded to O by covalent bonds are 2.
Number of H atoms bonded to O by co-ordinate covalent bond are 1, this H atom
does donate an electron and hence the total electron count = 8.
SCN- : The number of electrons on C = 4
The number of electrons on S = 6
The number of electrons on N = 5
The negative charge indicates an additional electron
Thus the total electron count = 16.
HCO3- : The number of electrons on C = 4
The number of electrons on H = 1
