Work arriving at total valence electrons are 24
The valence electron is an electron in the outer shell associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond
For a main-group element, a valence electron can exist only in the outermost electron shell; for a transition metal, a valence electron can also be in an inner shell.
Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDS), are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Calculating the work arrival at total valence electrons
We know 1 bond contains
2 valence electrons
Here CCl4 contains 4 bonds that is 8 valence electrons
Therefore ,
Total valence electrons are 32
Now valence electrons remain after bond formation =
32 - 8
=24 valence electrons
A molecular model is a physical model of an atomistic system that represents molecules and their processes
