5n rules Polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory
5n cluster: p4
5n + 3 cluster: p4s3
5n + 6 cluster: p4o6
the 5n rules follows.
example: p4
electron count: 4 × p = 4 × 5 = 20
it 5n structure n = 4, tetrahedral
example: p4s3
electron count 4 × p + 3 × s = 4 × 5 + 3 × 6 = 38
it 5n + 3 structure n = 7. 3 vertices inserted edges
example: p4o6
electron count 4 × p + 6 × o = 4 × 5 + 6 × 6 = 56
it 5n + 6 structure n = 10. 6 vertices inserted edges
