Lewis Structure for FSO3-? Formal charges on each atom in the hybrid structure?
Adi S.
Draw Lewis structures of the following molecules, including the assignment of any charges to atoms (the order in which the atoms are attached is given in parentheses, when it may not be obvious from. the formula as it is commonly written): $\mathrm{SO}, \mathrm{F}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ (FOF), $\mathrm{BF}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{~F}_{3} \mathrm{BNH}_{3}\right), \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}_{2}^{+}\left(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{COH}_{2}^{+}\right)$, $\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{C}_{2}^{2-}$
