QUESTION:

Draw a Lewis structure, and classify each of the following compounds. The possible classifications are as follows: alcohol ketone carboxylic acid ether aldehyde alkene (a) CH2CHCHO (b) CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3 (c) CH3COCH2CH3 (d) CH3CH2OCHCH2 (e) COOH (f) O (g) O (h) CHO (i) CH2OH

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 10

Lewis structure represents the structure of any chemical compound using the dots that represent the electrons. To form one bond that is one straight line between the two atoms, one electron from both the atoms is required. These electrons are taken from the valence electrons, and the leftover electrons are written as such using dots, which are called lone pairs. Also, double bonds are used when there is a necessity.

The number of valence electrons for the atoms present in the given structures is listed below.
