Question

formyl fluoride, CHFO

Calculate the formal charge of each atom

What is the AXmEn designation for the central atom in this molecule? If your molecule has other "centers", what are the AXmEn designations for them?

What is the electronic geometry of the central atom in this molecule?

What is the molecular shape around the central atom? If your molecule has other places where you can determine molecular geometry, what is the shape around those places?

Does the molecule have resonance structures? (show them if it does). Are these resonance structures likely to exist (check formal charges and explain)?

Does the molecule contain any polar bonds?

Is the molecule polar?
