What is Lewis structure for HgI2?

Answer 1

[Mg:S] (double bond)

Answer 2

Not sure but this is what ive come up with. If you do your needs and haves you turn out with 4 bonds. xx xx I=Mg=I xx xx Since there is only two Valence electrons around the Mg atom, there must be two coordinate covalent bonds, one on each I. The x's represent the lone pairs.

Answer 3

..-----..

:I:Hg:I:

..-----.. there are four pairs of dots around each of the I's, and the Hg shares on pair with each I. The dashes I put in mean nothing, they are merely to keep the dots in their propper places, so disregard the dashes.

Answer 4

In the Lewis structure for HgI2, Mercury (Hg) is the central atom with two iodine (I) atoms bonded to it. Each iodine atom has three lone pairs of electrons around it. The structure can be shown as Hg-I-I.

Answer 5

H-Mg-H
