Document Summary

The best lewis structure has negative formal charges on the most electronegative atom; therefore a) is the best lewis structure. bonds: incorrect; formal charges not as above, incorrect; the br is missing a nonbonding pair of electrons. In the best lewis structure of bro3 , the br has a no formal charge and the single bonded o has a formal charge of 1. The other two o"s should bear 1 formal charges. charges have been minimized by the formation of double bonds. Chapter 3 - 2: lewis structure is: There are 4 non-bonding electrons (2 pairs) on chlorine. If5 has one non-bonding pair of electrons on the central atom, i. The correct answer is e): resonance structures can be drawn for all of them except for the last one. 3 more resonance structures; average br - o bond order = 7/4. There are 3 other resonance structures for this molecule; Average as o bond order in aso43 is 1. 25.
