The polyatomic ion hcnxef has all the atoms bonded in the


a) The polyatomic ion [HCNXeF] + has all the atoms bonded in the listed order, as well as its molecular geometry is entirely linear. Provide a Lewis structure that is consistent with this molecular geometry.

b) In the molecule XeO2F2, the Xe-O bonding electrons take up slightly more space around the xenon atom than the Xe-F bonding electrons do. Given this information, predict the geometry of the XeO2F2 molecule. Sketch a sketch of how this would appear, including the lone pair as well as explain your reasoning
