ANSWER:Solution 98P
Step 1:
Here, we have to write the Lewis structure for CH3COH and determine whether the molecule is polar and also Draw the three-dimensional structure of the molecule.
The given skeletal structure is:
CH3COH is commonly known as ethanol. It has IUPAC name of Acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in coffee, bread, and ripe fruit and is produced by plants. It is also produced by the partial oxidation of ethanol by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and may be a contributing factor to hangovers from alcohol consumption.
The lewis structure of Acetaldehyde is given below :
