Chapter 12.8, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A resonance contributor in which each atom other than hydrogen follows the octet rule for each of the given is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
>Resonance contributors can be drawn by moving pi electrons and lone pairs to adjacent positions.
>Resonance contributors have the same connectivity of atoms. Only the electron arrangement changes among resonance forms.

Draw the Lewis structures for the following four molecules, being sure to show all steps following the methods covered in class. Structures without work shown will be marked incorrect. Also, one of these molecules has resonance structures – for this compound, make sure to include all resonance structures, indicate formal charges for each atom.
SO2 OF2 IF3 NH4+
Consider a molecule where the central atom has one lone pair of electrons and is double-bonded to two other atoms (of a different element). Draw a general diagram of the molecule. Is this molecule likely a polar or nonpolar molecule? Briefly explain your reasoning, using words and the diagram.
Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and phy
compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs.
Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each
Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas.
The number of unshared pairs at atom a is
The number of unshared pairs at atom b is
The number of unshared pairs at atom c is
ALI H-A-H
bH
The number of unshared pairs at atom a is
The number of unshared pairs at atom b is
The number of unshared pairs at atom c is
Going from left to right, what is the formal charge on the carbon in each of the following proposed Lewis structures?
