Lewis structure rules don't always work. In some cases, an atom
can be stable with fewer or more than 8 electrons in the valence
shell. In some cases, the sum of all valence electrons in the
molecule adds up to an odd number and you will have an
unpaired electron.
a. Explain why nitrogen cannot have an expanded octet but
phosphorus can.
b. Draw the Lewis structure for the following molecules.
i.
BeF2
ii.
SF4
ii.

structures. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
O a. The nitrite ion contains two N-O single bonds.

bonds.
