Do XeF4 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
What is the correct lewis structure for selenium?
Selenium should be surrounded by 6 dots, 4 of the electrons in pairs, and the other 2 as themselves for conventional drawing... - I teach Biology and Chemistry.
Do transition elements have Lewis dot structures?
They do, it's just that they do not follow the octet rule. You have to find the electron configuration to find the dot structure.
What is a synonym for Lewis diagram?
Lewis structure, electron dot diagram, electron dot structure...
How do you write the structure for XeO3?
Xenon does not have to follow the octet rule because of its access to the 4d sublevel. The Lewis structure of XeO3 places a Xe in the center, double bonded to three O atoms and with one lone pair on the Xe.
When drawing the Lewis structure for a compound of Al and Cl how many chlorine are needed?

After drawing a Lewis structure one should?
Count the electrons in the structure to be sure that the number of valence electrons used equals the number available.Be sure the central atom and other atoms besides Hydrogen have an octet.

Do XeF4 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
