You are provided with the basic connectivity of three nitrogen oxides. Complete the Lewis structures by adding a combination of lone pairs of electrons, multiple bonds, and formal charges where necessary. If there is more than one possible structure, draw the structure that minimizes nonzero formal charges and fulfills the octet rule.

The cyclohexane carboxylate anion has a Lewis structure Pushing a pair of unshared electrons away from the negatively charged oxygen atom and, at the same time, pushing a pair of pi electrons toward the other oxygen will generate a second resonance structure. Thus,
Chloromethane has the Lewis structure _______________________________ The carbon atom is sharing 4 electron pairs. In each shared pair the carbon atom “owns” 1 electron. The number of electrons that “belong” to carbon is ___. Carbon, being a Group ___ element would have 4 , outer shell electrons in the unbonded, neutral state. Therefore, the carbon atom in chloromethane has a formal charge of zero.
Two Lewis structures can be written for nitrosyl fluoride, which contains one nitrogen, one oxygen, and one fluorine atom per molecule. Write the two Lewis structures land assign a formal charge to each atom.
Several Lewis structures can be written for perbromate ion, , the central Br with all single Br—O bonds, or with one, two, or three Br=O double bonds. Draw the Lewis structures of these possible resonance structures, and use formal charges to predict which makes the greatest contribution to the resonance hybrid.
