Metallic Bonding

Question 10 • NY-Chemistry Term 1 Hillcrest

Check all features below that you included in your Lewis structure.

Answer
A
correct number of Se and F atoms
B
Se as the central atom
C
line (single bond) between Se and each of the four F atoms
D
six dots (electrons) associated with each of the F atoms
E
two dots (electrons) associated with the Se atom
F
no other lines or dots

Explanation

For SeF₄, the structure contains one Se atom and four F atoms, with Se in the center and a single bond to each F. Each F has three lone pairs (six dots), and Se has one lone pair (two dots). Those bonds and lone pairs account for all 34 valence electrons, so no additional lines or dots are needed.
