Question

:X: The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between a halogen (blue) and a main-group element from group 6A (red). In this representation, each Y atom needs 2 of X electron(s) to complete its octet, and gains these electrons by forming 1 b ond(s) with atoms There are 2 unshared electron pair(s) and 1 bonding electron pair(s) in the product molecule. The bonds in the product are covalent An error has been detected in your answer. Check for typos miscalculations etc. before submitting your answer.

As y so it has is 6 valence group 16 electron element oxygen farina vyen - family y needs 12 elections to complete octet (8l unshared electron pais - 12 to bonding lectronn in the product pair molecul not OXO h ing pair 8 unshared To unshared

Answer 2

1. The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between a halogen (blue) and a main-group element group 6A (red).
   

2. In this representation, each Y atom needs 2 electron(s) to complete its octet, and gains these electrons by forming 2 bond(s) with atoms of X.

3. There are 8 unshared electron pair(s) and 2 bonding electron pair(s) in the product molecule. 

4. The bonds in the product are covalent.
   

Explanation: 

Since Y has 6 valence electrons, and shares electrons with other atoms to complete its octet, it is a nonmetal in group 6A . To complete its octet, it must gain 2 electrons . It does this by forming bonds with 2 halogen atoms.

Each shared electron pair is a two-electron bond and is called a bonding electron pair.
Electron pairs that are in the valence shell of only one atom are called unshared pairs.

Bonds that are represented as a shared pair of electrons are called covalent bonds.
