Question: Explain why ozone and CO 2 do not have the same geometry. Draw three different Lewis structures for the thiocyanate ion, SCN - . Note

  1. Explain why ozone and CO2 do not have the same geometry.
  2. Draw three different Lewis structures for the thiocyanate ion, SCN- . Note that carbon is the central atom. a.) Indicate the formal charge for each atom in each formula as indicated. b.) Circle the most plausible Lewis structure based on the formal charges. (Note that carbon and sulfur have equal electronegativity values). Include the geometry and the bond angles around the carbon atom.
