Despite many attempts, the per-bromate ion ( ) was not prepared in the laboratory until about 1970. (In fact, articles were published explaining theoretically why it could never be prepared!) Draw a Lewis structure for which all atoms have the lowest formal charges.
Oxalic acid ( ) is found in toxic concentrations in rhubarb leaves. The acid forms two ions, and , by the sequential loss of H ions. Draw Lewis structures for the three species, and comment on the relative lengths and strengths of their carbon-oxygen bonds. The connections among the atoms are shown below with single bonds only.

Phosgene is a colorless, highly toxic gas employed against troops in World War I and used today as a key reactant in organic syntheses. From the following resonance structures, select the one with the lowest formal charges:
Cryolite ( ) is an indispensable component in the electrochemical manufacture of aluminium. Draw a Lewis structure for the ion.
Name all the molecular shapes that have a tetrahedral electron-group arrangement.
