QUESTION 3

  1. Draw the lewis dot structure of BeCl 2. How many lone-pairs of electrons (first) and bonding pairs of electrons exist on the molecule BeCl 2?

    Key Concept: Lewis structures are drawn from a knowledge of the total number of electrons from all the atoms involved in the structure. The element with the lowest electronegativity is the central atom. Fulfill octet of outside atoms first.
