A student drew this structure when asked to draw a Lewis structure for the carbonate ion. Determine if this structure is correct/incorrect and justify your reasoning The structure is correct The structure is incorrect Because 3. The structure uses all the available electrons 4. The formal charges on all the atoms add up to the charge on the ion 5. The central atom in this case cannot have an expanded octet 6.The formal charges on all the atoms do not add up to the charge on the ion

Determine which of the following molecules are polar and choose the correct reasoning for your answer. W and X W and Y X and Z Because All the bonds in the molecules are polar, however they do not cancel out due to the molecular geometry, resulting in a net dipole All the bonds in the molecules are polar, however they cancel out due to the molecular geometry, resulting in no net dipole. All the bonds in the molecules are non-polar, however they do not cancel out due to the molecular geometry, resulting in a net dipole.
