QUESTION:
Write a Lewis structure for SbCl5. Does this molecule obey the octet rule?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Sb belongs to group 15 and period 5. It has 5 valence electrons.
Cl belongs to group 17 and has 7 valence electrons. Since 5 chlorine atoms, there are total 35 valence electrons from Cl and 5 from Sb,
Thus, there are a total of 40 valence electrons.
