Answer 1

Lewis Dot Structures represent the valence electrons in a molecule. Each dot represents one valence electron, and lines represent bonds. The Lewis Dot Structures for the compounds listed are provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. PCI3: P(Cl)3
2. CBr4: C(Br)4
3. SiCl4: Si(Cl)4
4. H2S: H-S-H
5. AsI3: AsI3
6. SiI4: Si-I-

The Lewis Dot Structure represents the valence electrons of the atoms in a molecule. Each dot represents one valence electron, and lines represent bonds. The Lewis Dot Structures for the compounds listed are:

1. P(Cl)3: P has 5 valence electrons and each Cl has 7 valence electrons.
2. C(Br)4: C has 4 valence electrons and each Br has 7 valence electrons.
3. Si(Cl)4: Si has 4 valence electrons and each Cl has 7 valence electrons.
4. H-S-H: H has 1 valence electron and S has 6 valence electrons.
5. AsI3: As has 5 valence electrons and each I has 7 valence electrons.
6. Si-I-: Si has 4 valence electrons and each I has 7 valence electrons.
