[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.
The molecule SO 3 is trigonal planar.As predicted by VSEPR theory, its structure belongs to the D 3h point group.The sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and may be assigned a formal charge value as low as 0 (if all three sulfur-oxygen bonds are assumed to be double bonds) or as high as +2 (if the Octet Rule is assumed).

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 −
The number of electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom is determined after drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule, and expanding it to show all bonding groups and lone pairs of electrons. [1]: 410–417 In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond is treated as a single bonding group. [1]
Fluorosulfuric acid is a free-flowing colorless liquid. It is soluble in polar organic solvents (e.g. nitrobenzene, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate), but poorly soluble in nonpolar solvents such as alkanes. HSO 3 F is one of the strongest known simple Brønsted acids. [3] It has an H 0 value of −15.1 compared to −12 for sulfuric acid.
S 4 N 4 is a Lewis base at nitrogen. It binds to strong Lewis acids, such as SbCl 5 and SO 3, or H[BF 4]: S 4 N 4 + SbCl 5 → S 4 N 4 ·SbCl 5 S 4 N 4 + SO 3 → S 4 N 4 ·SO 3 S 4 N 4 + H[BF 4] → [S 4 N 4 H] + [BF 4] −. The cage is distorted in these adducts. [1] S 4 N 4 reacts with metal complexes, but the bonding situation may be quite ...
It is a colourless solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents. It is the adduct formed from the Lewis base pyridine and the Lewis acid sulfur trioxide. The compound is mainly used as a source of sulfur trioxide, for example in the synthesis of sulfate esters from alcohols: [1] ROH + C 5 H 5 NSO 3 → [C 5 H 5 NH] + [ROSO 3] −
