Consider the orthosilicate (sio anion. what is the central atom? enter its chemical symbol. how many lone pairs are around the central atom? 0 what is the ideal angle between the silicon-oxygen bonds? 囗'. 。 compared to the ideal angle, you would expect the actual angle between the silicon-oxygen bonds to(choose o be. one) !

b..

is the correct one

explanation:

covalent bonds form as valence electrons are shared between two atoms. lewis structures and structural formulas are common ways of showing the covalent bonding in organic molecules. formal charge describes the changes in the number of valence electrons as an atom becomes bonded into a molecule.

a is the correct answer
