In: Chemistry
A.) Draw a Lewis diagram for SO42- in which the central S atom has a formal charge of zero and show all NONZERO formal charges on all atoms.
B.)Draw a Lewis structure for SO42- in which the octet rule is satisfied on all atoms and show all NONZERO formal charges on all atoms.
C.)Based on formal charge, what is the best Lewis structure for
the ion? Octet rule or smallest formal charge
