How many valence electrons are in ClO2. I think its 17...is it correct? Thanks.
Answered by Lindsay
17? I come up with 19, but you might want to double check that.

1 Cl = 1 x 7electrons each = 7e
2 O = 2 x 6 elecrons each = 12e
12 + 7 = 19

I see where I made my mistake. Are there 12 valence electrons in C2H6?
Answered by Lindsay
C2H6 = 14 valence electrons

There are 4 valence electrons in a C, so in 2 C there is 8. H has only one.
8 + (1 x 6) = 14 v.e.

14 is correct.
