Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Number of bonds and lone pairs present in C should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The number of bonds and lone pairs can be determined by the number of electrons resides in valence electrons of an atom. Atoms that have 1 to 3 valence electrons, forms same number of bonds as the number of valence electrons. These atoms are exceptions to the octet rule. Atoms which have 4 or more valence electrons form bonds with other atoms to complete their octet. So, number of bonds that atom with 4 or more valence electrons can be determined by subtracting the number of valence electrons from 8.
One bond represents 2 electrons. Number of lone pairs can be determined by the following formula.
(b)
Interpretation:
Number of bonds and lone pairs present in Se should be determined.
