Io4 Lewis Structure
Help with Lewis Structure? 3
Does IO4 have single bonds in my HW ignition and does it look like electrons are moving from iodine to oxygen? This is not what we discussed in KL.
updateI thought there were only double bonds ...?
IO4 has the same bond from the central I atom to each of the four O atoms, but it has a total of 32 valence electrons (7 iodine, 6 x 4 oxygen and 1 extra charge on a single molecule And only 8 valence electrons are used from the IO bond. So you still have 24 to split, but the central atom I already have a byte of four bonds. Each oxygen atom has only 2 out of 8 filled valence electrons for its byte, so add 6 valence electrons (3 single electrons per oxygen atom) to each O in the molecule. You get one central I atom with a single bond for each O atom, and each O atom has this single bond with 3 isolated pairs of valence electrons.
With synchronous bonds, there is no transfer of electrons, they are different from ionic bonds. Electrons are only shared in synchronous bonds. It is very easy to add all the valence electrons to your molecule and distribute them accordingly until all the bytes are filled. Help for example!

Help with Lewis Structure?
In my HW ignition, IO4 has the same bond and it seems that electrons also move from iodine to oxygen. This is not what we discussed in class.
Iodine has 7 valence electrons, so I have 8 valence electrons in byte. This byte can share a pair of electrons with any oxygen. Oxygen contains 6 valence electrons, so it can form an extra pair to form a byte.
