[5] A trick is to count up valence electrons, then count up the number of electrons needed to complete the octet rule (or with hydrogen just 2 electrons), then take the difference of these two numbers. The answer is the number of electrons that make up the bonds. The rest of the electrons just go to fill all the other atoms' octets.
It is named after Warren K. Lewis (1882–1975), [6] [7] who was the first head of the Chemical Engineering Department at MIT. Some workers in the field of combustion assume (incorrectly) that the Lewis number was named for Bernard Lewis (1899–1993), who for many years was a major figure in the field of combustion research.

Tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate or tin(II) octoate or stannous octoate (Sn(Oct) 2) [1] is a compound of tin. Produced by the reaction of tin(II) oxide and 2-ethylhexanoic acid, it is a clear colorless liquid at room temperature, though often appears yellow due to impurities, likely resulting from oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV).
Tin(II) sulfate (Sn S O 4) is a chemical compound.It is a white solid that can absorb enough moisture from the air to become fully dissolved, forming an aqueous solution; this property is known as deliquescence.
[5] [6] SnC 2 O 4 ·2H 2 O → SnO + CO 2 + CO + 2 H 2 O. Tin(II) oxide burns in air with a dim green flame to form SnO 2. [4] 2 SnO + O 2 → 2 SnO 2. When heated in an inert atmosphere initially disproportionation occurs giving Sn metal and Sn 3 O 4 which further reacts to give SnO 2 and Sn metal. [4] 4SnO → Sn 3 O 4 + Sn Sn 3 O 4 → 2SnO ...
To obtain tin(II) acetate, tin(II) oxide is dissolved in glacial acetic acid and refluxed to obtain yellow Sn(CH 3 COO) 2 ·2CH 3 COOH when cooled. The acetic acid can be removed by heating under reduced pressure, and the white Sn(CH 3 COO) 2 crystals can be obtained by sublimation.
Tin(II) bromide can act as a Lewis acid forming adducts with donor molecules e.g. trimethylamine where it forms NMe 3 ·SnBr 2 and 2NMe 3 ·SnBr 2 [11] It can also act as both donor and acceptor in, for example, the complex F 3 B·SnBr 2 ·NMe 3 where it is a donor to boron trifluoride and an acceptor to trimethylamine.
Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.
