Question

Draw Lewis structures that obey the octet rule for the following species. Assign the formal charge to each central atom.a. POCI3b. 5042—c. Clott—d. PO43—e. SOZClZf. Xe04g. c103-h. N043—

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

to begin, three steps are highlighted below which are used to write the Lewis structures of the given compounds, viz;

• sum the variance of all the atom

• use a pair of electrons to form a bond between each pair of bound atoms

• lastly arrange the remaining electrons so as to satisfy the rule for hydrogen and the octet rule for the second-row elements.
