Practice Problem 1.2
a) Count valence electrons.
Build a basic bonding framework and account for electrons used.
Add remaining electrons and check for formal charges.
The molecule has a lone pair on the nitrogen. All other electrons are bonding electrons.
b) Count valence electrons.
Build a basic bonding framework and account for electrons used.

Add remaining electrons and check for formal charges.
There are formal charges on the S and O atoms. They can be removed by making an
additional bond between O and S.
The molecule has a lone pair on the sulfur and two lone pairs on oxygen. All other electrons
are bonding electrons.
c) Count valence electrons.
CH3CH2CN (nitrogen is connected to one carbon only)
3 carbons (group 4) 3 X 4 = 12
5 hydrogens (group 1) 5X1= 5
1 nitrogen (group 5) 1X5= 5
22 valence e-
Build a basic bonding framework and account for electrons used.
H H 8 bonds = 16 bonding e -
H C C C N
22 valence e - – 16 bonding e - = 6 non-bonded e -
