a. Step 1 in constructing a Lewis structure is to calculate the number of valance electrons available. How many valance electrons are available in the following molecular formula, CO3-2 ? (This answer must be included in this exam below – on Canvas) b. Step 2 in constructing a Lewis structure is to identify the central atom and draw single bonds between the central atom and all non-central atoms. Show the process and resulting intermediate Lewis structure for this step below for CO3-2 . (This intermediate structure should be shown on your scratch paper sent to Dr. Metz) c. How many valence electrons are represented after Step 2 (part b)? How many valance electrons remain to complete the Lewis structure? (This answer must be included in this exam below – on Canvas) d. Step 3 in constructing a Lewis structure is to place nonbonding electron pairs around all non-central atoms to complete their octet. Show the process and resulting intermediate Lewis structure for this step below for CO3-2 . (This intermediate structure should be shown on your scratch paper sent to Dr. Metz) e. How many valence electrons are represented after Step 3 (part c)? How many valance electrons remain to complete the Lewis structure (This answer must be included in this exam below – on Canvas) f. Step 4 in constructing a Lewis structure is to place all remaining valence electrons as nonbonding electron pairs on the central atom. If there are no remaining valence electrons use multiple bonds to complete the octet of the central atom. Show the process and the resulting final Lewis structure for CO3-2 below. (This structure should be shown on your scratch paper sent to Dr. Metz)

a. Fill in the following MO diagram for the covalent bond that occurs between C-F (This completed diagram will need to be copied over and filled in on your scratch paper sent to Dr. Metz) b. Calculate the bond order for C-F bond. (This answer must be included in this exam below – on Canvas) c. Based on the bond order what type of bond, single, double, or triple occurs between carbon and fluorine? (This answer must be included in this exam below – on Canvas)
