In its elemental form, selenium typically forms two covalent bonds. Selenium has six valence electrons in its outer shell, so it can share these electrons with other atoms to form two covalent bonds.
Tin (IV) selenide, SnSe2, is a covalent compound. It is composed of nonmetal elements, tin (Sn) and selenium (Se), which typically form covalent bonds by sharing electrons to achieve stability.
Selenium can form two bonds with hydrogen.
No, SeO2 does not involve an ionic bond. It is a covalent compound composed of selenium (Se) and oxygen (O) where atoms are sharing electrons to form bonds.
Yes, Se2S6 is a covalent compound. It consists of two selenium atoms (Se) and six sulfur atoms (S) bonded together through covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms. This results in a stable molecule due to the sharing of electrons.
Probably oxygen (it is the most common oxidant available in most environments).
Germanium, metalloid with a similar structure to silicon- 4 covalent bonds per germanium atomPhosphorus, the most familiar form is white phosphorus which is molecular, consisting of P4 units, each P atom has 3 covalent bonds, other allotropes are not discrete molecules but all have 3 covalent bonds per P atomSelenium This is molecular in Se8 rings each Se atom has two covalent bondsChlorine this is a diatomic gas with a single covalent bond

0 in their compounds, +3 for Al and -2 for Se in their compounds.
Yes, Se2S6 is a covalent compound. It consists of two selenium atoms (Se) and six sulfur atoms (S) bonded together through covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms. This results in a stable molecule due to the sharing of electrons.
This bond is covalent.
Probably oxygen (it is the most common oxidant available in most environments).
Slnium forms the compund H2Se, (so behaves like O and S in formation of a hydrogen compound.
Covalant- the difference in electronegativities is insufficient to make it ionic but it is polar covalent.
Since Selenium is in the same column as Oxygen and Sulfur, you would expect it to bond just like them. As a halogen, chlorine wants to make one bond so your final answer would be. Cl-Se-Cl with two lone pairs (that's 4 electrons) on selenium and 3 lone pairs (that's six electrons) on EACH chlorine.
Se belongs to oxygen family so it has six valence electrons, in SeF4 there are four covalent bonds so four electrons of Se are unpaired so there is only one lone pair of electrons on Se atom. 26
