Chapter 8.1, Problem 4PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis dot structure for CCl4 needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Lewis structure is shown by each atom in the molecule using the chemical symbol with the electron. The bond is formed by sharing of electron between the atoms and excess electrons are shown as lone pairs.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 4PP

After sharing the electron between Carbon(C) and Chlorine(Cl), the stable valence shells configuration and stable structure is formed.

Explanation of Solution

Lewis structure of CCl4. :

First write the electron configuration Carbon(C) and Chlorine(Cl). as follows:

C1s22s22p2

Cl1s22s22p63s23p5

Carbon(C) and Chlorine(Cl) has 4 electrons and 7 electrons in their outer most shell respectively.

For the valence shell configuration or stable structure formation C requires 4 electrons and Chlorine requires 1 electron. Thus, each Cl will have 3 lone pair of electrons on them. The Lewis structure will be as follows:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 8.1, Problem 4PP

After sharing the electron between Carbon(C) and Chlorine(Cl), the valence shells configuration and stable structure is formed.

Conclusion

The valence shell configuration can be achieved by sharing the electrons between the atoms.
