Pretend you are a teacher or tutor helping a group of students understand molecular structure. They have asked you about the generic molecule: JM₂. Assume the molecule obeys all Earth Lewis Structure Conventions and the central atom "lives" below the second row of the periodic table. Also, here is some information that you may find helpful: Element # of valence electrons Electronegativity J 8 2.4 M 7 3.8 Teach your group of students about the following topics using JM₂ as the example molecule. 1. Construct a formal charge optimized Lewis Structure following the guidelines we use in our class. 2. Calculate formal charge for every atom. 3. Evaluate formal charge to determine the best structure. 4. Evaluate if the structure has resonance. 5. Determine if there are polar bonds. 6. Determining if the molecule is polar. 7. Determine the electronic geometry 8. Determine the molecular geometry. 9. Describe the bond angles in the molecular geometry. 10. Visualize the three-dimensional shape. 11. Determine the hybridization on all central atoms. 12. Identify the types of bonds found in the molecule (sigma & pi bonds).

Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the sulfur dioxide (SO₂) molecule. How many electron groups are around the central sulfur atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central sulfur atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) 0 (choose one) O
