a) Draw a Lewis diagram for TeO42- in which the central Te atom has a formal charge of zero and show all NONZERO formal charges on all atoms. Note that the overall charge on this ion is -2.
b) Draw a Lewis structure for TeO42- in which the octet rule is satisfied on all atoms and show all NONZERO formal charges on all atoms.
Note that the overall charge on this ion is -2.
c) Which structure would best represent bonding in the
ion?
