What is the Lewis structure of SiF4, and how does it compare to that of helium?
Can you tell me what the Lewis structure of SiF4 is, and how it compares to that of helium?
Sure! The Lewis structure of SiF4 shows Silicon with four Fluorine atoms bonded to it, each with a single bond. This forms a tetrahedral shape around the Silicon. In contrast, Helium's Lewis structure only shows a pair of electrons surrounding the atom, since Helium is a noble gas and only forms very limited chemical bonds.
