Yes, in HCO⁺ the proposed lewis structure is reasonable.

No, COCl₂ has the wrong number of valence electrons.

No, OH⁻ has the right valence electron but does not obey the octet rule.

The correct structure for the question can be seen in the image attached below.

In the proposed structure, the number of valence electrons in HCO⁺ is: ( 1 + 4 + (6-1) ) = 10e⁻

Thus, the atoms obey the octet rule and the number of calculated valence electrons corresponds with what we have in the given structure.

Yes, the structure is correct and reasonable.

In COCl₂, the central carbon bonding to the oxygen is supposed to be doubly bonded and not singly bonded.the number of valence electron in COCl₂ is: ( 4 + 6 + (7 × 2)) = 24e⁻

The calculated number of valence electrons is different from the given structure of 26e⁻, so we can say No, it has a wrong number of valence electrons.

In the third structure, oxygen is supposed to have three lone pairs of electrons in order to obey the octet rule.the number of valence electrons in the structure is: (6 + (1+1) = 8e⁻

But both H, as well as, O do not obey the octet rule. Therefore, we say No, it has the right number of valence electron but do not obey the octet rule.

Answer from: kadeWayne

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached.

1) No, it has the right number of valence electrons but does not satisfy the octet rule.

2) Yes

3) No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons, the correct number is 16

Explanation:

If we look at the first structure in the image(HCN), it easy to see from inspection that nitrogen has three valence electrons as it is normally supposed to have. However, if we count all the electrons around nitrogen, we will notice that they are six instead of eight. Thus nitrogen has not satisfied the octet rule here.

The structure HBr satisfies the octet rule, hence it is a reasonable Lewis structures for the compound shown.

CO2 has 16 valence electrons but the structure shown contains about 20 valence electrons hence it is not a reasonable Lewis structure for the compound.

Answer from: Quest

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
