Sih4 draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. do not identify the charge on each of these species. include all lone pairs of electrons. to change the symbol of an atom, double-click on the atom and enter the letter of the new atom. +- chonspfbrclixmore

Attached image of the Lewis structure.

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis structure of SiH₄, we need to consider the octet rule: atoms gain, lose or share electrons to have 8 electrons in their valence shell. H is an exception to this rule because it is completed with 2 electrons (duet).

Si is a semimetal and H a nonmetal, and they form covalent bonds, that is, they share pairs of electrons to be complete.

Si has 4 valence electrons, so it forms 4 covalent bonds to reach the octet.

Each H has 1 valence electron, so each H forms 1 covalent bond to reach the duet.

The resulting structure can be seen in the attached picture.

they are both synthetic elements
