Question

Write Lewis diagrams for each of the following sets of molecules.
CO2
SF2
BrO3 -

Answer 1

you get one, that is all. :p you set this up by knowing the valence electrons for each set, carbon and oxygen. using them drawing from a 'pool' of electrons. you have 6 valence electrons for oxygen so times 2. and carbon is 4 times 1, and you set them up in a pattern of spins. then you build upon each so carbon has 4, one on each side to 'build upon' (octet rule) hope this helps! my drawing sucks, but i am on a laptop.
