HCO3- Lewis Structure: How to Draw the Lewis Structure for HCO3-

A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the HCO3- Lewis Dot Structure (Hydrogen Carbonate or Bicarbonate Ion). For the HCO3- structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the HCO3- molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in HCO3- we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom. In the Lewis structure of HCO3- structure there are a total of 24 valence electrons. HCO3- is also called Hydrogen Carbonate or Bicarbonate Ion. You should put the HCO3-Lewis structure in brackets with as 1- on the outside to show that it is an ion with a negative one charge. ---- Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like HCO3 ----- 1. Find the total valence electrons for the HCO3- 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 Easy Steps   • More practice:    • Lewis Dot Structure Practice Problems (wit...   • Counting Valence Electrons:    • Finding the Number of Valence Electrons fo...   • Calculating Formal Charge:    • Formal Charges: Calculating Formal Charge   • Exceptions to the Octet Rule:    • Exceptions to the Octet Rule   Lewis Structures are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Hydrogen Carbonate or Bicarbonate 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).
