Interpretation:
The Lewis dot diagram for SiH4 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is shown by each atom in the molecule using the chemical symbol with the electron. The bond is formed by sharing of electron between the atoms and excess electrons are shown as lone pairs.
Answer to Problem 5PP
After sharing the electron between
Explanation of Solution
Lewis structure of
First write the electron configuration
For the valence shell configuration or stable structure formation
There will be no lone pair on Si and H atoms. The Lewis dot structure is represented as follows:
After sharing the electron between
The valence shell configuration can be achieved by sharing the electrons between the atoms.
