Question

(Lewis Dot Structures):

Draw Lewis structures for the following molecules. Include partial charges, AXE designation, (example: AX2E2), Electron-Pair Geometry and Geometric- Molecular Shapes. Is it a Polar, or Non-Polar Molecule?

N2

SO3^-2

Answer 1

The resolution is shown in the attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

N₂ is a molecule formed by a triple bond between two nitrogen atoms. It has a linear geometry and shape and is non-polar.

SO₃²⁻ is a molecule formed by one double bond between the sulphur atom and one of the oxygens and two single bonds betwenn the sulphur atom and the other two oxygen atoms. The AXE notation is AX₃E and the geometry is trigonal pyramidal. The molecule is polar.
