For those questions in which a numerical response is required, express your answer with an integer (0, 1, 2, 3 etc.). a) Provide the symbol for the central element. This answer is case-sensitive. b) How many lone pair of electrons are surrounding the central element? c) How many lone pair of electrons in total are present in this molecule? d) How many non-bonding electrons are there in total in this molecule? e) How many electrons are being shared in total? f) How many single bonds are present in this molecule? g) How many double bonds are present in this molecule? h) How many triple bonds are present in this molecule?
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
Draw the Lewis structure for SeCI2 (selenium dichloride), then answer all of the following questions.
For those questions in which a numerical response is required, express your answer with an integer (0, 1, 2, 3 etc.).

d) How many non-bonding electrons are there in total in this molecule?
e) How many electrons are being shared in total?
f) How many single bonds are present in this molecule?
g) How many double bonds are present in this molecule?
h) How many triple bonds are present in this molecule?
This problem is based on Chemical bonding. This question requires knowledge of Lewis dot structure.
Here we have to draw the structure first then we can easily solve all the questions.
