Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atoms. To change the symbol of an atom, double-click on the atom and enter the letter of the new atom.

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of  is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is,

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that  is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.
