Question

Draw the Lewis Dot structure for RbIO2

Answer 1

Well, what do the Lewis Dot Structure for Rb, I and O look like individually?

Answer 2

Rb has 1 valence electron. Iodine has 7 valence electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Answer 3

Now, what about a structure of Rb and I together.

Answer 4

Iodine would end up having 8 valence because Rubidium gives away its electron since it's a metal

Answer 5

and you know how to draw that right?

Answer 6

omg what a terrible drawing, but it's supposed to have 8 valence

Answer 7

iodine*

Answer 8

And now what about 02 (by itself)?

Answer 9

Ok. Now combine the 2? You able to do that?

Answer 10

inputted this to mastering chemistry with the charges and it said i was wrong o_o
