According to Octed Rule, each atom gains or loses electrons to complete its outermost shell. As a result, molecules are formed. Each contributing element has 8 electrons in the outermost shell, but there are some limitations to this rule in which central atom of some molecules has more han 8 electrons. Some molecules like NO and `NO_(2)` don't satisfy octet rule as they have add electrons in them. On the basis of above paragraph, answer the following :  (i) Writer the Lewis structurre of `N_(2)` molecule.  (ii) How the structure of `SF_(6)` cannot be explained on the basis of octet rule ?
