Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.91CP

Some chemists believe that satisfaction of the octet rule should be the top criterion
for choosing the dominant Lewis structure of a molecule or ion. Other chemists
believe that achieving the best formal charges should be the top criterion.
Consider the dihydrogen phosphate ion, HaPO, , in which the H atoms are bonded
to O atoms. (a) What is the predicted dominant Lewis structure if satisfying the
octet rule is the top eriterion? (b) What is the predicted dominant Lewis structure if
achieving the best formal charges is the top criterion?
3)
The molecule diphosphorus tetraoxide (P,O,) has two central atoms and four different resonance
structures that do not violate the octet rule. Draw two of these resonance structures below.
