[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.
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.
SnF 2 acts as a Lewis acid. For example, it forms a 1:1 complex (CH 3) 3 NSnF 2 and 2:1 complex [(CH 3) 3 N] 2 SnF 2 with trimethylamine, [24] and a 1:1 complex with dimethylsulfoxide, (CH 3) 2 SO·SnF 2. [25] In solutions containing the fluoride ion, F −, it forms the fluoride complexes SnF 3 −, Sn 2 F 5 −, and SnF 2 (OH 2). [26]
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.

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) 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.
SnS also forms when aqueous solutions of tin(II) salts are treated with hydrogen sulfide. [5] This conversion is a step in qualitative inorganic analysis . At cryogenic temperatures, stannous chloride dissolves in liquid hydrogen sulfide .
Some sulfides are named by modifying the common name for the corresponding ether. For example, C 6 H 5 SCH 3 is methyl phenyl sulfide, but is more commonly called thioanisole, since its structure is related to that for anisole, C 6 H 5 OCH 3. The modern systematic nomenclature in chemistry for the trival name thioether is sulfane. [2]
