What is the molecular geometry of SeO42?

Answer 1

The Lewis Dot Structure for SeO includes 18 valence electrons. Selenium can hold over 8 electrons. To do the structure, Se goes in the middle with an O on either side. Two dots on top and bottom of each O, two on top of Se, and four between each Se and O.

Answer 2

This dot structure starts with the S atom in the center. At each cardinal direction, there is a single bond attached to an O atom. Each O atom has three pair of dots, one on each unbonded side. The structure is then enclosed in brackets and notated with 2-.

Answer 3

S is the central atom, with an oxygen atom on all 4 sides and a single pair of electrons between each O and the central S. Every O has 3 more pairs of e- to complete each O atoms octet.

Answer 4

The molecular geometry of SeO4^2- is tetrahedral. This is because it has 4 surrounding atoms (oxygen) and no lone pairs on the central selenium atom, leading to a symmetric tetrahedral arrangement.
