Draw the Lewis structure of arsenic pentafluoride. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the arsenic (n_As, val = 5) and fluorine (n_F, val = 7) atoms: n_As, val + 5 n_F, val = 40 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for arsenic (n_As, full = 8) and fluorine (n_F, full = 8): n_As, full + 5 n_F, full = 48 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 48 - 40 = 8 bonding electrons are needed, which are already accounted for in the structure. Note that the valence shell of arsenic has been expanded to 5 bonds. After accounting for the expanded valence, there are 5 bonds and hence 10 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 40 - 10 = 30 electrons left to draw: Answer: | |
