ANSWER:Step 1 of 7
Lewis Structure of a molecule or a compound is drawn by considering the valence electrons of each element present in it. The bonds between two atoms are indicated using lines and the electrons are represented using dots.
(a)
The condensed structural formula is
The compound consists of seven carbon and 16 hydrogen atoms.
The carbon atom consists of four valence electrons and the hydrogen atom consists of one.
The bonds between two atoms should be assigned such that each atom satisfies its valency.
The valency of carbon is four (i.e., it can form a maximum of four bonds) and that of hydrogen is one (it can form a maximum of one bond).
The Lewis structure of the given compound is provided below.
