Questions:
For each of the following molecules, draw the Lewis Dot
Structure, identify the electronic and molecular geometry names,
and predict the bond angle of the bold atom. If you believe that
resonance structures exist, you may merely state so.
CH3I
SO3
CH3COOCH3
PCl3
ZnCl2
ZnCl42-
COHC6H4COOH
NH4+
ICl4-
RnF2
HArF
B2H6 (yes, this is a real molecule)
For what electronic geometries is the “octet rule” always
violated?
Though the octet rule is, indeed, frequently broken, it is never
broken...
