Periodic table expanded
Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 246 People
Many elements in the third row and beyond in the periodic table may form more than four bonds and thus appear to have "expanded octets." phosphorus and sulfur, for example, may form five and six covalent bonds. count up the total number of valence electrons in pcl5 and draw its lewis structure. how many valence electrons are "counted" toward the central p atom?
