What is the Lewis dot structure of CH2Cl?

Answer 1

The Lewis Dot structure is the following for 1-bromo-1-chloromethane: :Br: | H --- C --- H | :Cl: there is also another lone pair of electrons (not shown) on each of the halogens; this would then equall an octet on all atoms. bond = 2 e-; lone pair = 2 e-. For example, the bromine has one bond and three lone pairs of e-'s in its valence shell; therefore, it has an octet ( = 8 e-'s).

Answer 2

C2H2Br2: Single bond between the Hydrogen and Carbon, Double bond between the two Carbons, Single bond between the Hydrogen and Carbon, Single bond from both carbons to each Bromine. Don't forget the lone pairs around Bromine (six among each).

H-C=C-H

Calculations:

Valence electrons: 2(4) + 2(1) + 2(7) =24 Octet Electrons: 2(2) + 8(4) =36

Shared electrons: 36-24 =12 Unshared Electrons: 24-12 =12

Answer 3

It has a symmetrically substituted tetrahedral structure.

4 covalently shared electron pairs between 4 Br- and the centered C-atom, and 4x 3 'free electron pairs' around the 4 Br-atoms.

Answer 4

Bromine (Br) has seven valence electrons. This means that the Lewis dot structure has two dots above, below and to the left, and one dot to the right.

Answer 5

CH3Cl:

C is the central atom, it has the 3 Hs around it with the Cl
