Short Answer
(a)Sulfuric acid,H2SO4,is an important strong oxo acid in organic chemistry.Propose Lewis structures for sulfuric acid,showing all lone pairs and formal charges,using the following guidelines:
In Structure I,one atom has a +2 formal charge.Two other atoms each possess a charge of -1.All atoms in Structure II are completely neutral.In Structure III,one atom has a +1 charge and another a -1 charge.
(b)Which Lewis structure is most stable? Why?
The neutral structure is most stable.The number of covalent bonds is maximized,and charges are minimized (e.g.,there are no individual formal charges on atoms).
