QUESTION:

Convert the following molecular formulas into line-bond structures that are consistent with valence rules: (a) C3H8 (b) CH5N (c) C2H6O (2 possibilities) (d) C3H7Br (2 possibilities) (e) C2H4O (3 possibilities) (f ) C3H9N (4 possibilities)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 7

Line-bond structures are shorthand structures for drawing molecules in which a line between two atoms represents a two-electron covalent bond.

To convert a molecular formula into a line-bond structure, identify the atoms present in the formula and the number of covalent bonds that atom makes. Using trial and error, identify how the atoms can be put together.

The number of bonds that some atoms form is shown below.
