Step 1
Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons, and oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. So, the total number of valence electrons is 5 + 6 + 6 = 17. The Lewis structure for NSO is: O || S - N : : Show more…

For each compound, draw the Lewis structure, determine the geometry using VSEPR theory, determine whether the molecule is polar, identify the hybridization of all interior atoms, and make a sketch of the molecule, according to valence bond theory, showing orbital overlap. a. COF2 (carbon is the central atom) b. S2Cl2 (ClSSCl) c. SF4
For each compound, draw the Lewis structure, determine the geometry using VSEPR theory, determine whether the molecule is polar, identify the hybridization of all interior atoms, and make a sketch of the molecule, according to valence bond theory, showing orbital overlap. \begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. } \mathrm{COF}_{2}(\text { carbon is the central atom })} \\ {\text { b. } \mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{ClSSCl})} \\ {\text { c. } \mathrm{SF}_{4}}\end{array}\end{equation}
