   In which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in the following molecules ?

AsF3 molecule    (The central atom is As.)

 TeF4 molecule (The central atom is Te.)


 SF2 molecule (The central atom is S.)

That's going to be a little hard to draw on this forum, but you know you'll have to form an octet, right?  Can you say how many lone pairs each molecule has, for starters?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
