Question

14. Which of the following Lewis representation of the
molecules NF3, O, and HNO3 is correct?
Choose the correct option(s).
(a) Only) I
(b) Only II
(c) Only III
(d) I, II and III
​

Answer 1

The correct answer is option (d) I, II and III.

Explanation:

• Lewis representation of the  molecules NF3, O, and HNO3 is correct in all I, II and III.
• Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
• A Lewis Structure is a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule.
• It is used to show how the electrons are arranged around individual atoms in a molecule.
