[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
This angle may be calculated from the dot product of the two vectors, defined as a ⋅ b = ‖ a ‖ ‖ b ‖ cos θ where ‖ a ‖ denotes the length of vector a. As shown in the diagram, the dot product here is –1 and the length of each vector is √ 3, so that cos θ = – 1 / 3 and the tetrahedral bond angle θ = arccos ...
The dot-and-cross diagram of the LDQ structure of the ground state of acetylene is shown on the left and that of the first excited state of acetylene is shown on the right. The nuclei are as indicated and the electrons are denoted by either dots or crosses, depending on their relative spins.
CuCl 2 reacts with HCl or other chloride sources to form complex ions: the red [CuCl 3] − (found in potassium trichloridocuprate(II) K[CuCl 3]) (it is a dimer in reality, [Cu 2 Cl 6] 2−, a couple of tetrahedrons that share an edge), and the green or yellow [CuCl 4] 2− (found in potassium tetrachloridocuprate(II) K 2 [CuCl 4]).

The crystal structure of the dihydrate was partially determined in 1927 by Hendricks and Dickinson [1] [4] and refined in 1934 by Chrobak. [5] The structure is tetragonal P4 2 /mnm (136), Z=2, isostructural with ammonium tetrachoridocuprate(II) (NH 4) 2 CuCl 4 ·2 H 2 O and rubidium tetrachoridocuprate(II) Rb 2 CuCl 4 ·2 H 2 O.
Tetraoxygen was first predicted in 1924 by Gilbert N. Lewis, who proposed it as an explanation for the failure of liquid oxygen to obey Curie's law. [1] Though not entirely inaccurate, computer simulations indicate that although there are no stable O 4 molecules in liquid oxygen, O 2 molecules do tend to associate in pairs with antiparallel spins, forming transient O 4 units.

Methane (CH 4) contains two elements, carbon and hydrogen, each of which has two stable isotopes. For carbon, 98.9% are in the form of carbon-12 (12 C) and 1.1% are carbon-13 (13 C); while for hydrogen, 99.99% are in the form of protium (1 H) and 0.01% are deuterium (2 H or D). Carbon-13 (13 C) and deuterium (2 H or D
