What does Lewis structure mean?

10th-grade students can refer to the following information on Lewis structure:

What does Lewis structure mean?

The Lewis structure is a graphic representation of a molecule where the valence electrons of atoms are depicted as dots or lines. This formula is used to describe the chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule and helps us visualize the electron structure of that molecule.

*Basic rules for writing Lewis structures:

Valence electrons: Only the valence electrons of an atom are represented in the Lewis structure.

Bonding line: A line between two atoms represents a pair of bonding electrons (a single bond).

Dots: Lone electrons (not involved in bonding) are represented by dots.

Octet rule: Atoms (except hydrogen) tend to achieve the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (8 outermost electrons).

*Steps to write a Lewis structure:

Count the total valence electrons: Sum the total valence electrons of all atoms in the molecule.

Identify the central atom: Typically, the least electronegative atom will be the central atom.

Draw the molecular framework: Connect the atoms with single lines.

Distribute remaining electrons: Distribute the remaining electrons around the atoms so that each atom achieves the octet rule (or duet for hydrogen).

Check: Count again the total electrons in the Lewis structure to ensure it matches the initial valence electron count. If not enough, create double or triple bonds.

*Example:

Write the Lewis structure of the water molecule (H₂O):

Total valence electrons: 2 (H) + 6 (O) = 8 electrons.

Central atom: O.

Draw molecular framework: H-O-H

Distribute electrons: O /

H H

Check: O has 8 surrounding electrons (2 bonds and 2 lone pairs), each H has 2 electrons. The total electrons in the formula equal 8.

*Note: The information is for reference only./.

What is the Lewis Structure? 3 topics in the Grade 10 Chemistry curriculum

Is being able to draw the Lewis structure one of the required outcomes in the 10th-grade Chemistry curriculum?

Under Section 5 of the general education program for Chemistry issued alongside Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:

Covalent bond

- Present the concept and provide examples of covalent bonds (single, double, triple bonds) when applying the octet rule.

- Be able to draw the Lewis structure of some simple substances.

- Explain the concept of donor-acceptor bonds.

- Distinguish between types of bonds (nonpolar, polar covalent, ionic) based on electronegativity.

- Explain the formation of bonds and bonding through orbital overlap (AO).

- Present the concept of bond energy (covalent).

- Assemble molecular models, NaCl crystals (according to a preset model).

Thus, under the above regulations, being able to draw the Lewis structure is one of the required outcomes in the 10th-grade Chemistry curriculum.

Under Section 5 of the general education program for Chemistry issued alongside Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:

Topic 10.1: CHEMICAL FOUNDATIONS

Chemical Bonds

- Be able to write Lewis structures and use the VSEPR model to predict molecular geometry for some simple molecules.

- Present the concept of AO hybridization (sp, sp2, sp3) and apply it to explain bonds in some molecules (CO2; BF3; CH4;...).

Nuclear Reactions

- Provide an overview of natural radioactivity; give examples of natural radioactivity.

- Apply conservation laws of mass number and charge to nuclear reactions.

- Provide an overview of artificial radioactivity, nuclear reactions.

- State the applications of nuclear reactions for scientific research, life, and production.

- List typical applications of nuclear reactions: determining the age of artifacts, applications in the fields of medicine, energy,...

Activation Energy of Chemical Reactions

- Present the concept of activation energy (regarding its impact on reaction rate).

- State the influence of activation energy and temperature on reaction rate through the Arrhenius equation k = A. .

- Explain the role of catalysts.

Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy Change

- Present the concept of Entropy S (a measure of system disorder).

- Explain the significance of the sign and value of Gibbs free energy change (without explaining what ΔrG is, just state: To determine the direction of a reaction, people rely on Gibbs free energy change ΔrG) of a reaction (ΔG) to predict or explain the direction of a chemical reaction.

- Calculate ΔrGo using the formula ΔrGo = ΔrHo - T.ΔrSo from a provided table of ΔfHo and So values of substances.

Topic 10.2: CHEMISTRY IN FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION

Overview of Combustion and Explosion Reactions

- Explain the concept, characteristics of combustion reactions (a type of redox reaction that releases heat and light).

- Provide examples of the combustion of inorganic and organic substances (gasoline, oil combustion in air; Mg burning in CO2,...).

- State the necessary and sufficient conditions for combustion reactions to occur.

- Explain the concept, basic characteristics of explosion reactions (occur quickly with a sudden increase in volume and release of huge amounts of heat).

- Explain the concepts of physical and chemical explosion reactions.

- Present the concept of “dust explosion” (a dust explosion is caused by small solid dust particles (most organic solid materials such as plastic powder, sugar powder, cereal powder as well as metal powder that can react with oxygen and release strong heat) in the air).

- Present the harmful products often produced in combustion reactions: CO2, CO, HCl, SO2,... and their effects on humans.

(CO is very toxic to humans. At 1.28% CO concentration, people lose consciousness after 2-3 breaths, die after 2-3 minutes)

Flashpoint, Autoignition Temperature, and Combustion Temperature

- Define flashpoint (the lowest temperature at atmospheric pressure that a volatile organic compound or material can vaporize to ignite in air upon contact with a spark source).

- Define autoignition temperature (the lowest temperature at which a substance can spontaneously ignite without an external heat source under atmospheric pressure conditions).

- Explain the use of flashpoints to distinguish between flammable and combustible liquids. (Liquids with flashpoints below 37.8°C are considered flammable liquids. While liquids with flashpoints above that temperature are considered combustible liquids).

- Present the concept of combustion temperature.

- Analyze signs of and ways to reduce fire and explosion risks; ways to handle fires, and explosions. (Note to study, gather information about flashpoints, combustion temperatures of substances commonly encountered in life such as gasoline, oil, building materials)

Chemistry of Combustion and Explosion Reactions

- Calculate ΔrHo for some combustion and explosion reactions (according to ΔfHo or bond energy) to predict the intensity of combustion and explosion reactions.

- Calculate changes in combustion reaction speed, “respiration reaction rate” based on assumptions about dependency on O2 concentration.

- Explain the principles of firefighting (reduce combustion reaction speed) based on factors affecting chemical reaction rates.

- Explain why CO2 is commonly used for firefighting (isolate and reduce O2 concentration; CO2 is heavier than air).

- Explain why water is commonly used for firefighting (reduce temperature below the combustion temperature,...).

- Explain reasons why in some cases water should not be used for firefighting (gasoline, oil fires; fire containing chemicals reacting with water,...) but sand, CO2 should be used...

- Explain why fires with highly reactive metals such as alkali, alkaline earth metals, and aluminum... should not use water, CO2, sand (mainly SiO2), fire foam (a mixture of air, water, and surfactants) to extinguish the fire.
