40 electrons
Explanation:
The N for silicon tetrachloride, SiCl₄ is 40 electrons. The needed electrons that would be used to complete the lewis structure of the compound is actually 40 electrons. This number of electron will help the compound attain a noble configuration.
- The compound SiCl₄ is a covalent one. Here, there is sharing of electrons between two atoms.
- In drawing the electron dot formula, one must take into account the Available electrons and the Needed electrons.
- The Available electrons are sum of the valence electrons that can be accessed for the bonding. Si has 4 valence electrons, Cl has 7 valence electrons this makes a total of 4 + 7(4 atoms of chlorine), 32 available electrons.
- But to make a complete octet like that of noble gases, each atom most have 8 complete outer most electrons. This is the needed number of electrons. Since there are 5 atoms i.e 4 atoms of chlorine and 1 atom of Silicon, the needed electrons will be 5x8 = 40 electrons.

<u>Answer:</u>
<em>20, 44, 62 </em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
To find the number of atoms of each element, we multiply coefficient and subscript
For example 
contains
5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and
5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms
If there is a bracket in the chemical formula
For example 
we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket to find the number of atoms
(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )
So
3 × 3 = 9 , Ca atoms
3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms
3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.
So let us find the number of atoms of each element on the left side of the equation
Number of C atoms = 2 × 10 = 20
Number of H atoms = 2 × 22 = 44
Number of O atoms = 31 × 2 = 62
20, 44, 62 are the Answers.
