How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
5 0

There are zero lone pairs of electrons on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3. The correct option is b.

Explanation:

Lone pair electrons are those valence electrons of an atom which do not take part in bonding or left after the bonds are formed.

CHI_{3}

carbon is the central atom in the compound having 4 valence electrons.

Each iodine molecule has 7 valence electrons.

H has 1 valence electron.

from the Lewis structure of CHI_{3}, it is seen that all four valence electrons of the carbon is involved in bonding with 3 atoms of iodine and 1 atom of hydrogen.

Thus when all valence electrons are involved in bonding no lone pair of electron is found in CHI_{3} that means zero lone pairs of electrons.

The octet of the iodine, carbon and hydrogen gets completed to form the compound.
