  2. Triiodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodide

    The following exergonic equilibrium gives rise to the triiodide ion: . I 2 + I − ⇌ I − 3. In this reaction, iodide is viewed as a Lewis base, and the iodine is a Lewis acid.The process is analogous to the reaction of S 8 with sodium sulfide (which forms polysulfides) except that the higher polyiodides have branched structures.

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure).

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    A pure substance is composed of only one type of isomer of a molecule (all have the same geometrical structure). Structural isomers have the same chemical formula but different physical arrangements, often forming alternate molecular geometries with very different properties. The atoms are not bonded (connected) together in the same orders.

  5. Electron pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_pair

    Gilbert N. Lewis introduced the concepts of both the electron pair and the covalent bond in a landmark paper he published in 1916. [1] [2] MO diagrams depicting covalent (left) and polar covalent (right) bonding in a diatomic molecule. In both cases a bond is created by the formation of an electron pair.

  8. Hypervalent molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervalent_molecule

    The debate over the nature and classification of hypervalent molecules goes back to Gilbert N. Lewis and Irving Langmuir and the debate over the nature of the chemical bond in the 1920s. [3] Lewis maintained the importance of the two-center two-electron (2c-2e) bond in describing hypervalence, thus using expanded octets to account for such ...

  9. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    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]
