Question

Draw a lewis structure for c2cl2 and indicate how many and what types of bonds are present

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 1 triple bond and 2 single bonds

Explanation:

C2Cl2  has linear structure.

For its Lewis structure, the C2Cl2 molecule has a total of 22 valence electrons. Each Carbon (C) atom has 4 valence electrons and 7 atoms in each chlorine atoms.

So, after pairing in C2Cl2, Chlorine (Cl) form 2 single bonds, one with each carbon atom andboth the Carbon (C) atoms form one triple bond with each other.
