Step 4Put lone pairs on atoms Only 10 valence electrons of the C2H4molecule are used in the above structure. Only one valence electron pair remains to draw (as mark lone pairs) the rest of the structure. After marking electron pairs on atoms, we should mark the charges of each atom. St...
What is the lewis structure for GeCl_6-2, determine the hybridization on the center atom and what are the sigma and pi bonds? Which of the following molecules have Lewis structures with lone pairs of electrons on the center atom? A. OF_2 B. CCl_4 C. CO_2 D. All o...
The two-dimensional or planar representation of the structure of a molecule showing the connectivity of the atoms and groups is termed a Lewis structure. It is the simplest form of structural representation of atoms and molecules. The bon...
(lone) pairs. Overall, the central atom will have a total number of valence electron groups that determines its orbital hybridization towards the terminal atoms. The spatial arrangement of the bonding electron groups represents the molecular geom...

The triel planar and trigonal species interacting with Lewis bases tend to achieve the tetrahedral geometry. On the other hand the tetrahedral tetrel moieties as well as the tetrahedral pnicogen cations, both characterised by the lack of the lone electron pairs, tend to attain the structure of ...
