A Lewis structure is a model that uses electron-dot structures to show how electrons are arranged in molecules.

total valance electron of SeCl2 = 20

valance electon of Se= 6

valance electron of two Cl= 14

in figure shows that two bond pairs, two bond present between Se and Cl

Non bonded electron is 16

and bond pair of electron is 4

How does the comic strip define a polar molecule

zmey [24]

The answer is: A molecule with a difference in electrical charge between two ends.

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.

For example fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and oxygen χ = 3,5, fluorine attracts electron and he has negative charge and oxygen has positive charge.
