In the sulfur tetrafluoride monoxide molecule the O atom and the four F atoms are bonded to a central S atom. Write a Lewis structure for this molecule in which the formal charges of all atoms is zero.
Use bond energies to estimate the enthalpy of the above reaction. (S-F bond energy = 327 kJ/mole). Is it endothermic or exothermic?
Determine the electron geometry of the molecule and predict two possible molecular geometries.
Which of the two molecular geometries in part d is more likely to be observed? Explain.
What possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best
possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)?
[:ö==S:
N=
CO
:O:
The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with
three lone pairs on the sulfur.
There are no errors. This is the best possible structure.
The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure.
The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible.
The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.
