Question

OCHEMICAL BONDING -Deciding whether a Lewis structure satisfies the octet rule Decide whether these proposed Lewis structures are reasonable. proposed Lewis structure Is the proposed Lewis structure reasonable? O Yes O No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons The correct number is: D CI-CCl:eNo, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem, atoms are-] Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number isi 0 O o o No. t has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satify the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are 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 tule The symbols of the problem atoms arer - If two or more atoms of the same element don't satiafy the octet ruile, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For accample, if tiwo oixygen atoms don't satisty the octet rule, enter o.o heck

Explanation / Answer

For 1st, option B is correct. As carbon can have only 4 valence elctron and it is showing 5.

For 2nd, option A is the correct. Nitrogen can have 5 valence electrons.

For 3rd, option B, oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
