Draw the Lewis structures of the following species :
`SiCl_4`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw the Lewis structure for silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of valence electrons - Silicon (Si) is in group 14 and has 4 valence electrons. - Chlorine (Cl) is in group 17 and has 7 valence electrons. Since there are 4 chlorine atoms, we multiply by 4. - Total valence electrons = 4 (from Si) + (4 × 7) (from Cl) = 4 + 28 = 32 valence electrons. ### Step 2: Identify the central atom ...
