6. Draw the Lewis structures of F2, O2, and N2. What is the difference in terms of their bonds?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Lewis’s structure:

Lewis’s bonding theory is based on the octet rule. The Lewis structure is a simplified representation of the valance shell electrons (bond pair and lone pair) of a molecule. In the Lewis structure, the valance electrons are represented by the dot. The lone pair of electrons is represented by the pair of dots and the bonding electron pair can be represented by the pair of dots between the atoms or by a bond line.
