Question
Chapter 8, Problem 126AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Thereason for the fact that the analogy of the resonance structures with either a mule or a rhinoceros is moreappropriateis to be explained.
Concept introduction:
For many molecules, it is impossible to explain all their properties with a single Lewis structure. In such cases, more than one Lewis structures are drawn to explain their properties. Such structures of a compound are called resonating structures and this phenomenon is called resonance.
Resonance structures areimaginary structures and not the real ones.

If you include structures in which sulfur has an expanded octet and exclude structures with triple bonds, how many resonance structures can be drawn for sulfur trioxide, SO3?
Complete the following statements about the molecule NBr3. Please note that ALL atoms in this molecule obey the octet rule.
The molecule NBr3 has BLANK total valence electrons.
The molecule NBr3 should be drawn with N in the middle, and the Br atoms on three sides of the N atom.
After drawing the Lewis structure for NBr3 using the above information, it is evident that the three-dimensional shape (or geometry) of the molecule is BLANK , with a bond angle of BLANK degrees.
Decide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable.
