QUESTION:
Complete each of the following statements for a molecule of SeO3:a. There are ______electron groups around the central atom.b. The electron-group geometry is_____________.c. The shape of the molecule is_____________.d. The molecule is (polar/nonpolar)_____________.
ANSWER:Solution 65 QPHere we have to complete each of the following statements for a molecule of SeO3:In order to answer all the questions we have to draw the Lewis structure of SeO3. (Lewis structure of SeO3)Step-1a. There are 3 electron groups around the central atom.Explanation:SeO3 is surrounded by three bond pairs thus we can say it has 3 electron groups around the central atom.Step-2b. The electron-group geomet
