In the Lewis structure for a molecule of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) how many lone pairs of electrons does chlorine have when it is bonded to carbon?

Two lone pair on the central selenium and three lone pairs on each chlorine. So total of eight lone pairs.

The number of valence electrons is 7 + 2×7 + 1 = 22.
If you draw a trial structure in which Br is the central atom and every atom has an octet, you will have used 20 electrons (2 lone pair on Br).
The two extra lone pair electrons go on the Br.
So Br has three lone pairs in
BrCl2

What does a molecule of sodium chloride contain?
The molecule Sodium Chloride (NaCl), is the result of sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl), reacting with each other until the electrons are balanced. This chemical change causes these two elements to create, what you would know as, table salt.
Why does alcl3 exist as al2cl6 molecule n discuss shape of its molecule?
First, draw an AlCl3 molecule, in dot-structure. You will see that in the molecule, Aluminum has only 6 electrons, 3 of which are shared with the chlorine atoms. It needs 2 more electrons to become more stable (8 electrons in the outer shell is usually stable). Now look at the chlorine atom in the AlCl3 molecule.It has 8 electrons, and thus, it is somewhat "stable". If a Chlorine atom from ANOTHER AlCl3 molecule formed a dative bond with the Aluminum atom(a dative bond is a covalent bond where both shared electrons come from just one species. In this case, both electrons come from the chlorine atom), this Al atom would now have 8 electrons as well. That is why AlCl3 exists as a dimer- as Al2Cl6 . It's structure is shown in this picture.
What is in a NaCl atom?
A molecule of NaCl (Sodium chloride) is comprised of Sodium and Chlorine.
What is the chemical formula for chlorine Chloride?
Is formed from reaction below: Cl2 + H2O ----> HClO + HCL Where HClO is chlorine water and the other product is hydrochloric acid.
Cl2 oxidation number?
Cl2 is the symbol of the diatomic neutral molecule of chlorine; the anion chloride is Cl-. The common valence of chlorine is -1.
How many electrons in sodium chlorine molecule?
Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride which is an ionic compound. It has a crystalline structure and has no molecules.
Which is stable chlorine ion or chlorine molecule?
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
What is the formula chloride?
There is no chlorine chloride. The formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
What is the molecular formula for chloride?
The molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
What is the difference between chlorine radical and chlorine molecule?
A chlorine radical is simply Cl. with no charge but free electrons wanting to bond. A Cl atom basically. A chlorine molecule is Cl2 (two atoms bonded covalently). A chloride ion is Cl-. Many people confuse an ion with a radical. They are not the same.
How many valence electrons does ch2cl2 have?
Cl2 is the diatomic molecule of chlorine (Cl) . It has 14 valence electrons, 7 in each atom. When chlorine forms a chloride ion, an atom accepts an electron and becomes Cl- (negative ion).
What does a molecule of sodium chloride contain?
The molecule Sodium Chloride (NaCl), is the result of sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl), reacting with each other until the electrons are balanced. This chemical change causes these two elements to create, what you would know as, table salt.
What is the formula for the chlorine sulfur hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide?
Chlorine atom - Cl Chlorine molecule - Cl2 since chlorine is a diatomic gas Sulfur atom - S Sulfur molecule - S8 Hydrogen chloride - HCl Hydrogen sulfide - H2S

What valence electrons is the least delocalized from potassium chloride silver metal HF and chloride gas?
In the list we have potassium chloride, an ionic compound where electrons are transferred to form ions; silver metal which has delocalised electrons that give rise to electrical conductivity; hydrogen fluoride a covalent molecule where an electron pair is shared; chlorine gas which a covalent molecule with a shared air. The least delocalised is the ionic compound. The most is the metal.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
