Question: This problem set is due at 1 0 a m on Oct. 2 7 , 2 0 2 3 . For each of the following

This problem set is due at 10am on Oct. 27,2023.
For each of the following molecules or polyatomic ions, draw a correct Lewis structure.
Please follow these guidelines carefully in writing your answers:
(1) Make sure every atom (except H) obeys the octet rule.
(2) If an atom has a nonzero formal charge, write that charge directly above the atom.
If a formal charge is zero, you don't have to write it. Formal charges of +1 or -1 are
common. Lewis structures with formal charges of +2 or -2 are unstable.
(3) If there are equivalent resonance structures, please write them all, using the special
arrow symbol reserved for resonance. If there are multiple inequivalent resonance struc-
tures, you only need to write the one that is most stable.
