(b) NF4+,
(c) SF4,
(d) BeCl4–2,
(e) BF4–,
(f) AlCl4–
Common exceptions to the octet rule are compounds and polyatomic ions with central atoms having more than 8 electrons around them. Phosphorus pentafluoride, PF5; sulfur tetrafluoride, SF4; xenon tetrafluoride, XeF4; and tri-iodide ion, I3, are all examples of exceptions to the octet rule. (a) Draw the Lewis structures of these substances.(b) For which elements in these substances can theatoms have more than 8 electrons around them?(c) How can the atoms of the elements youidentified in Part (b) be surrounded by morethan 8 electrons?
Chemical species are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same Lewis structure (regardless of charge). Consider these ions and write a Lewis structure for a neutral molecule that is isoelectronic with them. (a) CN–, (b) NH4+ (c) CO3 2–
