Draw the Lewis structure of O2F2. Assign oxidation states and formal charges to the atoms in O2F2. The com-pound O2F2 is a vigorous and potent oxidizing and fluo-rinating agent. Are oxidation states or formal charges more useful in accounting for these properties of O2F2?

Step 1

Drawing the Lewis structure of O2F2: Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. In O2F2, there are two Oxygen atoms and two Fluorine atoms, so the total number of valence electrons is (6 x 2) + (7 x 2) = 26. The Lewis structure Show more…
