Size of Atom | Chemical Reactivity |
small | low |
medium | intermediate |
large | high |
a. Formulate a law from this data.
b. Formulate a theory to explain the law.

Could you please turn this into a complete Lewis dot structure formula for me so I can visualize it more clearly? and then do the explaining for the resonance structures that were given please.
