Step 1
** - Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons. - Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. - Total for SO₃ = 6 (S) + 3 × 6 (O) = 24 valence electrons. Show more…

1. Draw the Lewis structure for ICl4- in the window below and then answer the questions that follow. Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges in your drawing. 2. Draw the Lewis structure for SO3 in the window below and then answer the questions that follow. Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges in your drawing. Do not draw double bonds to oxygen atoms unless they are needed for the central atom to obey the octet rule.

1) Draw the Lewis structure of: A) SCl2 B) AsF3 2) Using only Lewis structures that obey the octet rule, draw the Lewis structures and determine the formal charge on each atom in: A) SO2 B) SO3 C) SO3^2-
Sri K.
