There are 20 valence electrons in CH2Cl2.

C => 4 e-* x 1 (number of C in chemical formula) = 04 v.e-**

H => 1 e- x 2 = 02 v.e-

Cl => 7 e- x 2 = 14 v.e-

CH2Cl2 = 20 v.e-

*e- - this means electrons in short form

**v.e- - this means valence electrons in short form

C = 4 valence electrons total

H = 1 x 3 = 3 valence electrons total

Cl = 7 valence electrons total

Total Valence electrons: 14

What is valency of aluminium in aluminium oxide?

AL2O3: Aluminum has three valence electrons to give, the oxygen atoms can accept 2 valence electrons. With the compound being made of 3 oxygen atoms (which have 6 valence atoms individually) they accept 2 of the aluminums valence electrons. In electrical practice, this compound is an insulator. One atom or compound having 6-8 valence electrons is electrical insulator.

How many valence electrons does H2O2have?

H2O2 is a compound, and the concept of "valence electrons" applies to atoms but not to compounds. If the question is or should be intended to be, "How many valence electrons did the atoms in one formula unit of H2O2 have before they reacted to form the compound?", the answer is one from each hydrogen atoms and six from each oxygen atom, for a total of 14.


Why are only valence electrons represented in Lewis structure?

Because they are the only ones involved in bonding. For example, when an forming an ionic compound one atom loses its valence electrons and one gains electrons to make its valence electron shell complete.


What parts of an atom participate in chemical reactions?

When an element reacts with another element, they form a compound. How a compound is formed has to do with the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons which are held in the outer most energy level.
