Question

Draw the Lewis structures for the following molecules. For eachmolecule, determine its (a) electronic geometry, (b) number ofnonbonding domains on the central atom, and (c) polarity of themolecule. Remember, that molecules that have zero nonbondingdomains on the central atom AND have all of the outer atoms thesame are NONPOLAR. Generally, molecules with different outer atomsor with more than one nonbonding domain are POLAR. However, thesemay be NONPOLAR ONLY IF the dipoles cancel each other due to asymmetrical arrangement.
