Solution: These species do not obey the octet rule. Draw a Lewis structure for each, and state the type of octet-rule exception: (b) AsF4 −
Solution: These species do not obey the octet rule. Draw a Lewis structure for each, and state the type of octet-rule exception: (b) AsF4 −
Problem
Solution
Recall: An atom in a molecule that does not obey the octet rule either
1. has an odd number of electrons
2. has less than an octet of electrons
3. has more than an octet of electrons
Arsenic (EN = 2.18) is less electronegative than Fluorine (EN = 3.98) so As is the central atom. We first need to calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule:
