Question

Draw the Lewis structure of BH4and use your Lewis structure to help fill in the missing numbers.

Hint: you must put a number in each box. If the answer is zero, you must enter "0".

The Lewis structure has:

 
 
 
lone pairs =
 
 
 
single bonds =
 
 
 
double bonds =
 
 
 
triple bonds =
 
 
 
atoms with a positive formal charge =
 
 
 

atoms with a negative formal charge =

 

Is this structure stabilised by resonance?

(Enter either yes or no below - no other words).
