Question

using the
as\ idea, how many electrons are \shared\ for the compound sbr2? n = 24, a = 20 44 4 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for shared electrons

The formula for the number of shared electrons using the "NAS" idea is \(S = N - A\), where \(N\) is the total number of electrons if each atom had a full octet (or duet for hydrogen), \(A\) is the total number of available valence electrons.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(N = 24\) and \(A=20\). Then \(S=24 - 20\).

Answer:

\(4\)
