Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

The most common Lewis bases are anions. The strength of Lewis basicity correlates with the pK a of the parent acid: acids with high pK a 's give good Lewis bases. As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −
In the following example, the Lewis acidity of AH 3 molecules such as BH 3 and CH 3 + is predicted. Six electron AH 3 molecules should have a planar conformation. It can be seen that the HOMO, 1e’, of planar AH 3 is destabilized upon bending of the A-H bonds to form a pyramid shape, due to disruption of bonding.
Different ways of representing a methyl group (highlighted in blue). In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4).
Butyraldehyde is produced almost exclusively by the hydroformylation of propylene: . CH 3 CH=CH 2 + H 2 + CO → CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CHO. Traditionally, hydroformylation was catalyzed by cobalt carbonyl but rhodium complexes are more common.
Ru 3 (CO) 12 undergoes substitution reactions with Lewis bases: Ru 3 (CO) 12 + n L → Ru 3 (CO) 12-n L n + n CO (n = 1, 2, or 3) where L is a tertiary phosphine or an isocyanide. It forms complexes with acenaphthylene. [7] Ru 3 (CO) 12 forms a variety of alkene complexes, some where the Ru3 core remains intact but often with fragmentation.
Structure and AFM image of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene, where benzene rings are held together by triple bonds. A triple bond in chemistry is a chemical bond between two atoms involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. Triple bonds are stronger than the equivalent single bonds or double bonds, with a bond ...
