Post by: micro01 on Sep 23, 2012
Need help with these lewis structures.. thanks!

also need to figure out for NH3-...
How many lone pairs of electrons are there on the central atom of ammonia?

lewis structure of SO2..
1. How many double bonds are there in the lewis structure of SO2?
2. how many lone pairsof electrons are there on the central atom of SO2?

Ammonia is NH3,  Ammonium ion is NH4+
NH3 has 3 covalent bonds, and one lone pair.
Ammonium has 3 covalent and one coordinate covalent bond, with a shortage of one electron, which gives it a =ive charge.
SO2 has one double and one single bond and one lone pair.
