    1. A Lewis structure is used to determine the electronic geometry as well as molecular geometry of a molecule. A Lewis structure is a skeletal structure with all the elements and non-bonding electrons shown. Two electrons indicate one electron pair. In compound SeO,. Se is the central atom. The valance shell electronic configuration of Se is [Ne] 3d104s 4p. It has 6 valance electrons from which only 4 are involved in bonding. Two electron each of Se is making double bond with two O atom which is having electronic configuration [He]2s 2p Hence the Lewis structure of the compound along with its possible resonating structures is shown below: Se Se Θ
