Draw the Lewis dot diagram for a F^2+ cation.
Question:
Draw the Lewis dot diagram for a F{eq}^{2+}{/eq} cation.
Lewis Dot Structure:
A Lewis dot structure or diagram of a compound shows the arrangement of valence electrons around an atom or ion. The molecular shape is determined by any atomic orbital hybridization and the number of valence bonding and nonbonding electron pairs on a central atom.
