00:01
So for localized electron models, we always start with a number of balanced electrons.
00:08
So let's do balanced electrons have ccl4, so carbon has four electrons, and chlorine has seven electrons.
00:19
So we have four chlorine atoms, so four plus 28 will give you 32.
00:24
We have 32 electrons that we need to out.
00:28
Now we put carbon in the center, and we have chlorine atoms.
00:32
On all four sides because it forms once with all four foreign atoms.
00:37
And so we can go ahead and put two electrons between carbon and each chlorine because that accounts for one bond.
00:46
And so the carbon here has eight electrons around it.
00:50
So we can go ahead subtract that from our original number of electrons, which is 32...
