A) Draw a Lewis diagram for SO₂F₂ in which all atoms have a formal charge of zero .

B) Draw a Lewis structure for SO₂F₂ in which the octet rule is satisfied on all atoms and show all NONZERO formal charges on all atoms.

C) Which structure would best represent bonding in the molecule? Smallest formal charges or octet rule satisfied for all atoms?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer A):-

Lewis Structure of SO2F2 in which all atoms have zero formal charge:

Answer B):-

Lewis structure of SO2F2 with nonzero formal charges (octet rule satisfied):

Answer C):-

The lewis structure (A) with nonzero formal charges represents best bonding. "Structure with lesser formal charges on its atoms is more stable than the structure with more formal charges on its atoms".
