Question

using the
as\ idea, how many electrons are \available\ for the compound sicl4? n = 40 40 32 11

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of valence electrons for each atom

• Silicon (Si) has 4 valence electrons.
• Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons.

Step2: Calculate the total number of valence electrons

• There is 1 Si atom and 4 Cl atoms in \(SiCl_{4}\).
• Total valence electrons \(= (1\times4)+(4\times7)=4 + 28=32\)

Answer:

32
