What is the total number of nonbonding valence electrons in the "dipolar ion" form of glycine, +NH3CH2COO-?
Answered by GK
The only atoms with nonbonding electrons are the two oxygens on the carboxyl, -COOH group. The double bonded O has two nonbonding electrons pairs. The single bonded O has three nonbonding electron pairs. Draw a Lewis structure of the complete dipolar ion to confirm this.
