The Lewis dot diagram shows how electrons participate in a bond with Carbon and Chlorine. This is shown by the sticks and the 2 paired electrons near the carbon atom which represent the bonds. These electrons form these bonds because they form octets when they are bonded which most molecules and compounds follow
Answer: Chlorine and Carbon exhibits covalent bonding which involves the sharing if electrons. Carbon is less electronegative than Chlorine so it is considered as the central atom on this compound. Carbon shares it 4 valence electrons on Cl to attain octet. Now Chlorine is more electronegative so it will receive the lone pairs based from the Lewis structure.
Since C os in group 4 and Cl in group 7 the number of electrons will be:
C = 4
Cl= 7 x 4
# of e- = 32 - 8 ( the number of bonds)
Total number of e-. = 26 e-
Distribute the electrons to the most electronegative atom which is Cl have 6 e- each to attain octet.
Hydrogen bonds form between molecules containing polar covalent bond the hydrogen bond is been a hydrogen atom of one molecule and a partially negative charged atom of another.
Example (water):- It contain a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other.
