2. In biologically relevant molecules, carbon and the halogens don't have a charge. In contrast, nitrogen (neutral or positively charged) and oxygen (neutral or negatively charged) don't always appear in their uncharged form. Consider the following questions. a. Add any unshared pairs of electrons necessary to complete the Lewis structure shown for formaldehyde (note: there are no formal charges in this molecule). b. Assign any formal charges necessary to complete the structure shown for the acetylide anion. c. Recalling that atoms want a complete octet, add unshared pairs of electrons, and assign formal charges as appropriate to the Lewis structure of the amino acid aspartic acid as it would exist at a physiological pH of ~7.4 (aspartic acid has an overall -1 charge at this pH). A. H O H formaldehyde B. HIC C: C. acetylide anion HH H-N O=C H OH H aspartic acid
