[title] Create bonds connected to the central atom. [substeps] Since there are 5 fluorine atoms, you will need 5 bonds. Iodine is the progenitor of hydrogen and beta. [title] Identify a pinion atom by its hydrocentric shape. [substeps] You can also identify the central atom of a molecular atom by finding the core atomic mass of the atom. Include this mass as shown in the image below. Iodine is very durable and is very strong. Electrons are composed of electrons and are much heavier than hydrogen or oxygen.
