Question:

Up until now, you’ve been drawing first a Lewis dot diagram (two-dimensional, shows lone electron pairs) and then a separate diagram showing molecule shape (three-dimensional, no lone pairs shown). Now begin combining the two, drawing one structure showing both threedimensional shape and all lone pairs. Draw such a structure for each of the following polyatomic ions. Name each shape, and indicate whether the ion has an overall dipole moment. If so, draw the dipole moment vector.

(a) CN

(b) ClO4

(c) PCl4

(d) NO2
