Chemistry, how do i draw the lewis structures for these molecules?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on drawing Lewis structures for complex molecules, specifically H5IO6, TeF6, IF7, SF4, and BrCl3. Participants express challenges in connecting atoms due to insufficient unpaired valence electrons. The provided resource, a link to a chemistry lab site, offers guidance on Lewis dot structures, which is essential for visualizing molecular bonding and electron distribution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of valence electrons and their role in bonding
  • Familiarity with molecular geometry concepts
  • Knowledge of electronegativity and its impact on bond formation
  • Experience with drawing Lewis dot structures
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory
  • Learn about resonance structures and their significance in molecular stability
  • Explore advanced molecular modeling tools like ChemDraw for visualizing structures
  • Research the specific properties and bonding of hypervalent molecules
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals involved in molecular modeling and structural analysis will benefit from this discussion.

chemistry, how do i draw the lewis structures for these molecules?

i have tried all sorts of ways but keep on geting stuck with atoms which i can't connect, don't have enough non paired valence electrons to join em all up

H_{5}IO_{6}

TeF_{6}

IF_{7}

SF_{4}

BrCL_{3}

SORRY all the numbers are meant to be below the letters, (number of atoms) don't know why it came like that
 
This should help:
