- An incorrect Lewis structure for N is shown below. Identify the problem with this 3 structure. Oz: + : N=N=N: A) There are too many electrons in this structure. B) There are not enough electrons in this structure. C) An atom smaller than neon is exceeding octet rule. D) Double bonds or triple bonds would decrease the charge separation and provide octets for all atoms.arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structures and determine which of these molecules is least likely to exist. (A) SF B) SeF4 (C) PF3 (D) OF4 (E) SF4 Draw all 5 structures with 1 central atom. All of the other atoms are attached to the central atom.arrow_forward8) NO3 is less stable than NO3" which is the best justification for this difference in stability A) Nitrogen is more electronegative than oxygen B) NO3 requires the atoms form an expanded octet C) Adding more electrons always makes an compound more stable D) NO3 can not obey octet rule while NO3 can. 8)arrow_forward
