5. Selenite (SeO32") has a central selenium atom to which the other atoms are bound. Draw the Lewis Dot structure that obeys the octet rule. Next draw a Lewis Dot structure that obeys the formal charge rule and draw all the other resonance structures possible. Choose one of the resonance structures and clearly label the formal charges of all the atoms. Choose one of the three oxygen atoms on your resonance structures and clearly label on each structure whether that oxygen has a single, double or triple bond.
