A compound is being tested for use as a rocket propellant. The analysis showed that this compound contained 18.54% F, 34.61% Cl, and 46.85% O.a. Suppose the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, describing the Lewis structure for this moleculeb. Use the VSEPR theory to predict the structure of this moleculec. List the three anions of the elements according to their increment in the radius of the ion.
