For the molecule AX3, in which all the atoms are in Periodic

For the molecule AX3, in which all the atoms are in Periodic Group VIIA or 17 (the Halogens): 1. Draw the correct Lewis Structure. If others are possible but less likely, draw them too and explain why the correct one is the selection. 2. What are the electron pair and molecular geometries? a. Electron pair geometry: b. Molecular geometry: 3. What is the predicted (ideal) bond angle about the central atom? 4. Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? 5. What is the orbital hybridization on the central atom?
