QUESTION:
Each molecule listed contains an expanded octet (10 or 12 electrons) around the central atom. Write the Lewis structure for each molecule.
(a) \(\mathrm{PF}_5\)
(b) \(\mathrm{SF}_4\)
(c) \(\mathrm{SeF}_4\)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Here, we are going to write the lewis structure for the given molecules.
The Lewis dot structure provides a picture of bonding in molecules and ions in terms of the shared pairs of electrons and the octet rule. While such a picture may not explain the bonding and behavior of a molecule completely, it does help in understanding the formation and properties of a molecule to a large extent. Writing of Lewis dot structures of molecules is, therefore, very useful.
