# Evaluating Proposed Lewis Structures

This educational section helps students assess whether certain proposed Lewis structures are reasonable. Each structure is analyzed based on the number of valence electrons and adherence to the octet rule. Below are the proposed structures and their evaluations:

## Table Layout

1. **Proposed Lewis Structure**: Displays the chemical structure using Lewis dot notation.
2. **Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable?**: Offers options to evaluate the reasonableness of the structure.

### Structure Evaluations

#### Structure 1: Fluorine-Oxygen Compound
- **Proposed Structure**: \( \text{F} \, = \, \text{O} \, = \, \text{F} \)
- **Options**:
  - \( \bigcirc \) Yes.
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
    - The correct number is: \_\_
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule.
    - The symbols of the problem atoms are:* \_\_

#### Structure 2: Chlorine-Nitrogen Compound
- **Proposed Structure**: 
  \[
  \quad \quad \text{Cl} \\
  \text{Cl} \, | \, \text{N} \, | \, \text{Cl}
  \]
- **Options**:
  - \( \circ \) Yes.
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
    - The correct number is: \_\_
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule.
    - The symbols of the problem atoms are:* \_\_

#### Structure 3: Hydroxide Ion
- **Proposed Structure**: \([\text{H} \, - \, \text{O}]^-\)
- **Options**:
  - \( \circ \) Yes.
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
    - The correct number is: \_\_
  - \( \circ \) No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule.
    - The symbols of the problem atoms are:* \_\_
