Chapter 8, Problem 90E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Lewis structure is to be drawn for the given molecules. Also resonance structure is to be shown

Concept introduction: The Lewis structure is also known as dot structure. This structure depicts the bonding between atoms and the lone pairs of electrons if exists.

The octet rule states that atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons to get the electronic configuration of nearest noble gas.

Resonance structure is defined as the forms of a molecule having the same chemical connectivity but different distribution pattern for electrons around the structure.

To determine: The Lewis and resonance structure of the molecule ozone ${\text{O}}_3,{\text{SO}}_2$ and ${\text{SO}}_2$
