Write a Lewis structure for N2, NH3, NO2-, NO3-,

S2, SO2, SO3, SO32- and mark those which are not necessarily resonance strucures/hybrids. → Octett rule, hypervalence, formal charges

* No other resonance structure



What is the meaning of VSEPR? The corresponding concept is a good tool for ... and was established by...? Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Concept → Predicting the shape/structure of molecules

It was established by Gillespie and Nyholm in the year 1957.



Give the shape, the type, and the psi-polyhedron/ geometry of CO2, NO2-, NO3-, SO32-,XeF4, PCl5(g), SF4.

For a molecule AXmEn (A = central atom, X = ligand atom, E = free electron pair ), X and E tend to minimize repulsion i.e., are arranged on the surface of a sphere around A forming simple polyhedra/geometric figures (E needs more space than X).
