Result, NH2- has a bond angle 104.5 ° same as water (H2O) bond angle. Pairs electrons which have comparatively lower repulsive force and bond angle isīut in the case of NH2-, there are two pairs of non-bondingĮlectrons presence on the nitrogen atom which exerted higher repulsion, as a Īmmonia (NH3) which has only 1 pair of non-bonding lone Thus, both N-H bond pairs come closer toĮach other and occupy less space than two non-bonding lone pairs of electrons. The repulsion of lone pairs of electrons is more than bond pairs.Īnd there are two lone pairs of electrons present on the N atom 2 bond pairs and 2 loneĪs the arrangement of NH2- is more likely to be H-N-H butĭue to the lone pairs and bond pairs repulsion, it acquires bent V-shape I) Electron Domain (ED) Geometryįrom the above Lewis dot structure, NH2- has four regions ofĮlectron density around the central nitrogen atom i.e. Two pairs of non-bonding electrons cause repulsion on both bonding pairs which pushes NH2- has two pairs of bonding and two pairs of non-bondingĮlectrons participated in the formation of a molecule. The formal charge on each atom can be calculated as,įormal charge (F.C) = Valence electrons (V) – Lone pair ofĮlectrons (L) – Bond pair of electrons (B)/2.įrom this, we get one negative charge on the ions. We used all 8 valence electrons and all atoms are stable as nitrogen has 8 electrons and each hydrogen atoms have two electronsįor achieving octet and duplet respectively. No need to placed a lone pair ofĮlectrons on H atoms as all the hydrogen atoms have two electrons and hydrogen Nitrogen atom so that they have 8 electrons. Here we have to place two lone pairs of electrons on For this, you have to make sure every atom except the central atom must have 8 electrons toįollow the octet rule (hydrogen is an exception because it follows duplet rules). It is time to put lone pairs of electrons on atoms. The nitrogen atom is in the least number so simply it willīe the central atom surrounded by two hydrogen atoms from either side. There is a simple trick for selecting the central atom which is obviously save The most tricky part but as described in how to draw a Lewis structure guide, Step 1), so total electrons pairs are 8/2= 4.įinding the central atom while drawing a Lewis structure is But it can be simply calculated by just dividing the total number ofįor NH2-, total valence electrons are 8 (as calculated in The addition of sigma bonds, pi bonds, and lone pair present at the valence
Determine the total number of valence electrons pairsĪs we know the total number of valence electrons are equal to ( we have to add +1 electrons in total valence electrons becauseĢ. Hydrogen atom and one negative charge ion. Here in this molecule, we have one nitrogen atom and two (N) and Hydrogen (H) so first, we have to figure out the valence electrons of Here the amide ion is made up of two different atoms: Nitrogen Find out the total number of valence electrons
Steps to be followed for drawing NH2- Lewis structureġ. Structure is surrounded by a negative sign because NH2- is an ion with negativeĬharge. Placing two dots for a single bond as shown in the above figure. Here both hydrogen atoms share a one-one electron with the nitrogen atom to form two single bonds (H-N) which can also represent by simply
