Explanation:

Nitrogen triiodide (NI₃)

Valence electrons of nitrogen = 5

Valence electrons of iodine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons = 5 + 3(7) = 26

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is shown in image below.

Nitrogen posses one lone pair and thus the geometry is pyramidal.

Answer:

the error could have been the fact that the unit for volume wasn't changed from cm³ to dm³

hence the calculation error

the solution to this would be first dividing the volume by 1000 to get that same amount in dm³ which is the standard unit to be used for volume-density calculations

How does the formal charge play a role in resonance?

Crank

In a Lewis structure, formal charges can be assigned to each atom by treating each bond as if one-half of the electrons are assigned to each atom. ... Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.
