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

Answer

  1. Proposed Lewis structure: [Cl=O]⁻
    O No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
    The correct number is: 14
    The symbols of the problem atoms are: Cl, O

  2. Proposed Lewis structure: [N=O-Cl]
    O No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons.
    The correct number is: 18
    The symbols of the problem atoms are: N, O, Cl

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