What is the Lewis dot structure for CCl4?

Answer 1

. . : Cl : . . l . . :Cl---C---Cl : ¨ l ¨ : Cl : . . would be the structure, with each chlorine having 8 dots around: two above, two left, two right, and two below. the carbon has 4 valence electrons, one each to each chlorine, which each start with seven. they all share and make covalent bonds, which means sharing of the valence electrons. all atoms now have by sharing gotten complete outermost electron orbitals, which is more stable than not having this configuration.

would be the structure, with each chlorine having 8 dots around: two above, two left, two right, and two below.

the carbon has 4 valence electrons, one each to each chlorine, which each start with seven.

they all share and make covalent bonds, which means sharing of the valence electrons. all atoms now have by sharing gotten complete outermost electron orbitals, which is more stable than not having this configuration.

Answer 3

The Lewis dot for iodine chloride starts with an I atom in the center. There are six possible bond sites, and on four of them are singly bonded Cl atoms. The other two have a pair of dots. Each Cl atom has three pair of dots, one pair per unbonded side.

Answer 4

Carbon is the central atom in CCl4. There are 4 single bonds extending to each Chlorine atom from Carbon. Each Chlorine atom has 3 non-bonding pairs of electrons around it. The electron geometry of this molecule is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is also tetrahedral.

Answer 5

there is none.... because of the octet rule, chlorine can have up to 8 valence electrons... cl2 would work though

Answer 6

ChCl3
