Phosphoryl Chloride, POCl₃, is a reagent that is used to make phosphate triesters from alcohols. (A) Draw a Lewis Dot structure that satisfies the octet rule for each atom in POCl₃ then calculate the formal charge for each atom in the structure. (B) Draw a resonance structure of POCl₃ in which all the atoms have a formal charge of zero.

For ClO3OH, write a resonance structure with the octet rulesatisfied for the central atom and a second resonance structurethat minimizes formal charges. In the one that satisfies the octetrule, which atoms have a formal charge of zero?

a. H
b. Cl
c. The 3 equilvalent O.
d. The O bonded to the H.

1. How do C, H, N, O, and Cl satisfy the octet rule in organic compounds so as to have a formula charge of zero?
