Question
Chapter 4, Problem 91AE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The prediction made for molecular structures obtained in Exercise 99 being same as the one made in Exercise 100 is to be validated.
Concept introduction: Lewis structures represent the rearrangement of valence electrons in a molecule. It represents covalent bonding in a molecule or ion.
To determine: If the prediction for molecular structures in Exercise 99 is same as for the one in Exercise 100 or not.

Use the formal charge argument to rationalize why BF3 would not follow the octet rule.
A) what are the correct formal charges on the atoms for structure A?
B) what are the correct formal charges on the atoms for structure B?
C) what are the correct formal charges on the atoms for structure C?
D) based on the formal charges, what is the best structure?
D)
We should realize that having an octet of electrons on a central atom is critical for a molecule to be stable. Would you expect NO and NO2 to be stable molecules? Why or Why not? Include Lewis structures as part of your explanation.
