If two or more atoms have the wrong number of valence electrons around them, just enter the chemical symbol for the atom as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms have the wrong number of electrons around them, enter the symbol O twice.

Decide whether the Lewis structure proposed for each molecule is reasonable or not.
Is this a reasonable structure?
If not, why not?
