- Consider the SO 3 molecule. How many valence electrons does the molecule have? How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central atom? How many lone pairs of electrons in total are on the substituent atoms? How many resonance structures can be drawn for the molecule? If the ion doesn't exhibit resonance, indicate "1" as only one structure can be drawn for the molecule.arrow_forwardCould someone help me?? The answer to this question must look similar to the example attached. Back ground info: Atoms of different elements combine with one another to form compounds. It is important to be able to explain how atoms actually come together to form these compounds or chemical bonds. One of the three types of bonds is an ionic bond which is a bond between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom, or a cation and an anion. The Octet Rule is the driving force behind ionic bond formation. The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the main group elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks); an octet in these atoms corresponds to an electron…arrow_forwardstuck on a questionarrow_forward

Specify the molecular shape of this molecule, and whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. (Hint: In terms of polarity, see whether the dipoles in the molecule cancel or not. A molecule containing polar bonds can be nanpolar if the dipoles cancel each other. You can imagine the dipoles as ropes pulling on the central atom–If the pulls cancel each other, that is, the central atom cannot move, then the molecule is nonpolar. If on the other hand the opposite is true, then the molecule is polar.)
