Question

Lewis dot and resonance (if any) for S2O3 2-, S2O8 2-, and F3S-SF

Answer 1

The Lewis dot structures for S2O3 2-, S2O8 2-, and F3S-SF can be represented as [:S=O::S:O=:]2-, [:S::O:1-O::S:O:1-O::O:1-]2-, and [F-S-F] respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the S2O32- ion, there are 2 sulfur atoms and 3 oxygen atoms. The Lewis dot structure can be represented as follows:

[:S=O::S:O=:]2-

In the S2O82- ion, there are 2 sulfur atoms and 8 oxygen atoms. The Lewis dot structure can be represented as follows:

[:S::O:1-O::S:O:1-O::O:1-]

In F3S-SF molecule, there is one sulfur atom and two fluorine atoms. The Lewis dot structure can be represented as follows:

[F-S-F]
