Question

using the
as\ idea, how many electrons are \available\ for the compound sbr₂? n = 24

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of valence electrons of each atom

• Sulfur (\(S\)) has \(6\) valence electrons.
• Bromine (\(Br\)) has \(7\) valence electrons.

Step2: Calculate the total number of valence electrons (A)

For \(SBr_{2}\), there is \(1\) sulfur atom and \(2\) bromine atoms.
\(A=(1\times6)+(2\times7)=6 + 14=20\)

Answer:

\(20\)
