Question

How many non bonded electron pairs are in the tetracyanoethylene molecule?

Answer 1

Each of the Nitrogen atoms has 2 non bonded valence electrons, meaning that there are 4 pairs total.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 4 non bonded electron pair in tetracyanoethylene

Explanation:

• In tetracyanoethylene, four cyano groups are attached with an ethylene moiety.
• Non bonded electron pairs in tetracyanoethylene molecule are present on N atoms in cyano groups.
• Each N atom in a cyano group contains one non bonded electron pair.
• There are 4 cyano groups in tetracyanoethylene.
• Hence there are 4 non bonded electron pair in tetracyanoethylene.
• Lewis structure of tetracyanoethylene has been given below.
