Draw the Lewis Structure for each molecule. Remember that the best structure will have a few Formal Charges as possible. Molecules which break the octet rule are denoted with
Based on formal charges, draw the most preferred Lewis structure for ClO3-?
Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include lone pairs of electrons an formal charges.
Consider SO3
a. Draw the Lewis dot structure that minimizes the formal
charges and expands the octet.
b. Draw the Lewis dot structure that have resonance and do not
expand the octet.
Draw the best lewis structure using formal charges.
Determine the shape & bond polarity.
And identify the molecules below as polar or non-polar and
explain why.
SO2, CH4, PF3, NH3, NH4+, NO3-,N2O
1) draw the most appropriate Lewis structure, 2) all resonance
structures, and 3) formal charges for all atoms having any. Then,
determine the electron and molecular geometries for each
structure.
