Determine if the structures below are valid or invalid ionic Lewis structures.
Identify which one of the following XO3 ions has an expanded octet (more than eight electrons) on the central atom.
Provide the Lewis structure for PBr5.
a. What is the Lewis structure for SF5-?
b. Does SF5- follow the octet rule? If not, which atom does not follow?
c. How many electrons surround each atom in SF5-?
Arsenic (III) oxide (As2O3) reacts with water to form arsenous acid (H3AsO3). Draw the Lewis structure of arsenous acid that obeys the octet rule.
Draw the correct Lewis structure for HNO3 that satisfies the octet rule
Using formal charges, identify the resonance structure that contributes the most to the hybrid.
Give all the possible resonance structures (some will not obey the octet rule) for N2O4 (O2NNO2). Show the curve arrows to represent the conversion of one structure to another.
