Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : A shell representation and Lewis structure for ion of fluorine that is most likely to be stable should be drawn.

Concept Introduction : A legitimate Lewis structure is an electron dot and line bond representation in which the total number of valence electrons is indicated. Number of valence electrons around hydrogen is two. Number of valence electrons around carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine atom is eight. This is called the octet rule.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
can you explain a little bit about the rules when drawing lewis dot diagrams, it is correct to say that all elements need 8 electrons to be stable and if their is extrea valance electrons this gets added to the center atom and if not eneough creat double bonds.
Question attached
Draw all the possible resonance structures for the chromate ion. How many resonance structures can you have in total for chromate?
