Determine the number of shared and unshared electrons in the structure. shared (bonding) electrons: unshared (lone, nonbonding) electrons: Determine the number of shared and unshared pairs of electrons in the structure. shared (bonding) pairs of electrons: unshared (lone, nonbonding) pairs of electro

Shared (bonding) electrons : 8

Unshared (lone, non-bonding) electrons : 16

Explanation:

The Lewis dot stricture of the molecule attached to this answer shows us all the valence electrons present in the molecule.

Altogether, we have a total number of 24 valence electrons in SO3.

There are eight electrons shared between atoms of elements, these are the bonding electrons.

There are sixteen electrons that are not shared between atoms of elements, These are the lone or non-bonding electrons.

Hence, there are four shared pairs of electrons and eight pairs of unshared electrons.

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
