ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here, we draw the Lewis structure for \(SbCl_5\).
Lewis structure:
A visual representation of covalent bonding that indicates where the valence shell electrons are in the molecule.
Antimony is the 15th group element and Atomic number is 51.
Electronic configuration of “Sb” - \([kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^3\)
Electronic configuration of “Cl” - \([Ne]\ 3s^23p^5\).
