hello, so I take chem 300 at Sacramento city college, my professor has been teaching lewis structure to us. so essentially as long as everything is symettrical. so you can add the h to any of the O's. but it doesn't matter as long it symmetrical to the center and terminal elements.
There can't be a double bond between O (connected to H) and C because the maximum no. of bonds O can make is 2 and if it makes a bond with C too then it wouldn't follow the octet rule.
In simplest terms, if there was a double bond between the C and the O that is attached to the H, Oxygen would be bonded three times. Oxygen has a formal charge of zero when it is only bonded to two other atoms or when it is double bonded to one other atom. However if it is bonded three times it would have a formal charge of +1 making it unstable.
@@anthonievertias3857 I don’t understand these stuff but it seems than you can’t do the double bond with the O attached to the H because as in the paper he has, O has 8 valence electrons and is sharing 4 of them and it can’t give 2 to the C because then it wouldn’t have 8 valence electrons… it can’t even give more than 8!
its a coordinate bond. Carbon gives 2 electrons to oxygen, and oxygen gives out none. So you have 2 shared electrons that come from C, and the six valence electrons that are already around oxygen. Hard to explain without a diagram but i tried!
LOL i was trying to connect hydrogen to Carbon, what a fool i was LOL. thanks for vid
Oemji same HAHAHAHAHA
you explained it so well!! very grateful, greetings from brazil
Thanks a lot! This was explained really well
Why can the double bond not be from the oxygen connected to hydrogen?
Prolly bcz, oxygen can only have a double bonds and it already has 2 bonds..
1 single bond with carbon and 1 single bond with hydrogen
Thanks for this 😊 have an exam today

could be wrong but im pretty confident

excuse me Sir, but how do we know when to use internal dative bond with o2 as you did ?
There could be a 3rd, no? When u take a pair from the 1 concecting the H, but it less stable
AMAZING AND THANK YOU
The oxygen which have single bond would have 5 unpair electrons instead of your 6 electrons

hi, I would like to know why my teacher says that the resonance structures for bicarbonate ion are 4?
