The shape of the molecules can be predicted from the bond angles. It gives distribution of orbital around the central atom in the molecule. 90 degrees is the bond angle because O is in group 6 and bonded 6 times, has 6 paired electrons forms a octahedral shape with angles of 90 degrees.
The correct answer is 10. Se has 6 valence electrons. It shares 4 to form the Se-F bonds and has a remaining lone pair.
28 core electrons
this is the total electrons (atomic numnber) minus the valence electrons (of which there are 6)
Like all other elements in column 16 of a wide form periodic table, a selenium atom has six valence electrons.

Count the number of valence electrons for each element.
no. just the valence shell
Lewis dot formula

Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.

A Lewis diagram shows the valence electrons. They are the numbers that are from 1-8
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence electrons. These valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atom.
Valence electrons.
For PBr4^+ you have...Valence electrons in P = 5Valence electrons is Br = 7 and there are 4 of them so total = 28This gives a total of 33, but you subtract 1 because of the + charge on the ion,Thus total valence electrons shown in the Lewis dot will be 32.

The Lewis structure of an atom gives a clear illustration of the valence electrons.
