A generic Lewis structure is given where Y represents the central atom and the outer atoms are represented by X. The outer atoms are not necessarily all the same element. The central Y atom has one lone pair of electrons. The Y atom is double bonded to an X atom with two lone pairs of electrons. The Y atom is also single bonded to an X atom with three lone pairs of electrons. Which compound is represented by the generic Lewis structure?

Compound is the Nitrosyl Chloride; NOCl

Explanation:

From the Question, we have two X atoms (different elements) bonded to Y.

The central Y atom has one lone pair of electrons.

- A single lone pair can be found with atoms in the nitrogen group such as nitrogen in ammonia

The Y atom is double bonded to an X atom with two lone pairs of electrons.

- Two lone pairs can be found with atoms in the chalcogen group such as oxygen in water

The Y atom is also single bonded to an X atom with three lone pairs of electrons.

- The halogens can carry three lone pairs such as in hydrogen chloride.

Compound is the Nitrosyl Chloride; NOCl

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

it would be a gas formation
