Question
Calculate the formal charge of each atom by
drawing the most probable (stable) Lewis
structures of the molecules given below the

structures and names (tetrahedral, octahedral,
etc.) of each molecule using the Lewis
structures you have determined.
a) XY2 (X:7, Y:8) b) XY4 (X:16, Y:9) c) XY6
(X:15, Y:9) d) XY4 (X:10, Y:17)
e) XY32- (X:16, Y:8)
