Decide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable.
proposed Lewis structure: [C≡O]⁻
Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable?
- Yes.
- No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
The correct number is: [ ]
- No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule.
The symbols of the problem atoms are: [ ]
proposed Lewis structure: [N=O=Cl]

Answer

  1. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: 10. The symbols of the problem atoms are: C, O.

  2. No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: Cl.

  3. No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are: C, O.
