Question
Consider the inorganic molecule below ([AsO4SF3]3-) with the following arrangement of atoms:
O
F
O----As-----0-------S----F
Consider the possible Lewis structures (octet & expanded octet, as appropriate) and complete the
following - showing all non-zero formal charges and all lone pair electrons.
(a) Draw only the best Lewis structure(s) based on formal charge considerations. If more than one
resonance structure contributes equally to the best structure, be sure to clearly indicate this. Briefly
explain why it is the best structure.
(b) Determine all bond orders in your best structure. Additionally, indicate the hybridization, electron
domain geometry, and molecular geometry for As and S.
(c) is electron delocalization predicted for the best structure in (i)? Briefly explain the basis of your
prediction.
