Question

Determine the number of bonding electrons and the number of nonbonding electrons in the structure of SeCl2.

Answer 1

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
