(a)
Interpretation:
The complete Lewis structure of HCN needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are used to represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons present in it.
Polar bond has an unequal electron distribution between two atoms. The polar nature of a bond can be determined using the electronegativity difference between two atoms.
(b)

- Draw Lewis diagrams for the following compounds. In the formula the symbol of the central atom is given first. (Hint: The valence octet may be expanded for the central atom.) (a) PF5 (b) SF4 (c) XeO2F2arrow_forwardDraw the correct lewis structure for the following molecule. NCarrow_forwardPlease refer to the example image to answer. You must use CER, claim-evidence-reasoning. Make sure that your answer is CLEAR and explained well. Claim is your answer to the question. Evidence is from the image and reasoning is your explanation. Proper evidence for all Lewis structures include: Most electronegative atom must be in the center. Octet of electrons surrounding each atom. Total number of electrons depicted equals same total number of valence electrons from each participating atom. Make sure to refer to the example image because it shows the correct Lewis structures. The question you're answering is about the students drawing of CH20.arrow_forward
