Chapter 5 Problem 42QP

Question

Draw the electron-dot formula for each of the following molecules:a. H2Ob. SiF4c. CF2Cl2.d.

Solution

Solution 42QPStep 1 of 4:Here, we are asked to draw the electron-dot formula for the given molecules.An electron-dot symbol is a way to represent the valence electrons. Here, the valence electrons are shown as dots placed on the sides, top, or bottom of the element symbol.a. Given: H2OThe molecule is made up of 2 atoms of H and an oxygen atom. H has 1 valence electron and O has 6 valence electron. Therefore, there are a total of 8 valence electrons. The electron dot structure for H2O is as shown below: or ________________
