A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the HSO4- Lewis Dot Structure (Bisulfate ion or Hydrogen sulfate ion). • When we have an H (or H2) in front of a polyatomic molecule (like CO3, SO4, NO2, etc.) we know that the Hydrogen atoms will be attached to the outside of the oxygen molecules. Knowing this information makes it much easier to draw the Lewis structure for HSO4-. • For the HSO4- structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the HSO4- molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in HSO4- we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom. • In the Lewis structure of HSO4- structure there are a total of 32 valence electrons. HSO4- is also called Bisulfate ion. • ---- Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like HSO4 ----- • 1. Find the total valence electrons for the HSO4- molecule. • 2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside. • 3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond. • 4. Complete octets on outside atoms. • 5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds. • ---- Lewis Resources ---- • • Lewis Structures Made Simple: • How to Draw Lewis Structures: Five Ea... • • More practice: • Lewis Dot Structure Practice Problems... • • Counting Valence Electrons: • Finding the Number of Valence Electro... • • Calculating Formal Charge: • Formal Charges: Calculating Formal Ch... • • Exceptions to the Octet Rule: • Exceptions to the Octet Rule • Lewis Structures, also called Electron Dot Structures, are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Bisulfate ion. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension). • Chemistry help at https://www.Breslyn.org
