Chapter 5 Problem 102AQP

Question

Draw the electron-dot formula for each of the following: (5.5)a. H3COCH3; the atoms are in the order C O Cb. CS2; the atoms are in the order S C Sc. NH3d. H2CCHCN; the atoms are in the order C C C N

Solution

Solution 102 AQPHere we have to draw the electron-dot formula for each of the following.Step-1a. H3COCH3; the atoms are in the order C O C In order to draw the Lewis structure we have to calculate the total number of valence electrons present in it.Electronic configuration of 6C 1s2 2s2 2p2 1H 1s1 8O 1s2 2s2 2p4Total number of valence electrons = 6 (1) + 2(4) + 6 = 20Thus the Lewis structure will be , Step-2b. CS2 the ato
