The discussion revolves around the challenge of understanding non-bonding valence electrons in three valent oxygen atoms. Participants express confusion about the concept and seek guidance on how to approach the problem. There is uncertainty regarding the source of the question and the reasoning behind the absence of charges. The complexity of three valent oxygens without clear bonding or charge implications is a central concern. Clarifying these concepts is essential for resolving the issue effectively.

Where did you got it from? It doesn't make much sense with all these three valent oxygens and no charges.
