Draw Lewis Dot structures CO2 N2 CH3OH H3PO4
Isoelectronic molecules: same number of valence electrons and same Lewis structure
Is the acetylide, C22-, isoelectronic with N2?
Draw Lewis Structure for O3
Resonance Resonance structures Resonance hybrids Bonding in a molecule when a single Lewis structure fails to describe accurately the actual electronic structure Resonance structures Alternative structures Equal energy and bonding pattern Resonance hybrids Composite of the equivalent resonance structures
Radicals: molecules with odd number of electrons NO OH NO2 Cl
