How many electrons are shared in the lewis structure of ch2cl2?

Eight electrons are shared.

Explanation:

The total valence electrons available in the given compound are:

4 from carbon

seven each from two chlorine atoms

one each from hydrogen atom

Total = 4 +2 + 14 = 20 electrons

Out of these 20 eight will  be involved in making four bonds as:

a) two separate bonds with two chlorine atoms and carbon

b) two separate bond with two hydrogen atoms and carbon

In each bond two electrons are shared.

Total electrons shared = 8.

Rest electrons will be lone electrons on chlroine atoms (six on each atom).

the correct answer is option d

explanation:

i was wrong its d because they dont use cm when calculating square roots

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.
