a) Draw Lewis structures for each of the compounds below. Be sure to show
all bonding and non-bonding valence electrons. Also, clearly indicate any
formal charges on atoms.
b) Consider the molecular geometry information given for each compound
below: based on this information, specify the orbitals that each atom could
use in σ- and à-bonding (sp², sp³, p, etc.) and for holding non-bonding
electron pairs. Explain how your orbital assignments are consistent with
the observed geometries.
