Expert Solution
Step 1: Formula to calculate number of valence electrons

Answer:

The formula to calculate number of valence electrons is:

bold V bold equals bold 2 bold cross times bold N bold plus bold 2 bold cross times bold B

Here:

straight V equals number space of space valence space electrons
straight N equals number space of space lone space pairs
straight B equals number space of space covalent space bonds
