Which atoms in this formula have not achieved Lewis octets? Redraw this formula by changing nonbonding electrons into bonding electrons and giving each atom a Lewis octet..
Read the following statements. Which ones are correct? Be sure to explain how you know. BF3 and PFs are examples of exceptions to the octet rule. II. BF,¯ and BFg-NH3 are examples of violations of the octet rule. III. Expanded valence shells occur most often when the central atom is bonded to a small, electronegative element. IV. The central atoms most capable of having expanded valence shells come from rows 3, 4, and 5 of the periodic table.
With regard to resonance structures that are drawn for a real species, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? Select one: O A. Resonance structures are not real; they are only drawn structures. O B. The real species rapidly oscillates between the resonance structures, O C. Resonance structures differ in the location of their electrons, not the positions of their atoms. O D. Resonance structures all have electron localized structures, while the real species that is described by them has delocalized electrons..
