QUESTION:
Draw the Lewis structure for each organic compound from its condensed structural formula.
a. C2H4 b. CH3NH2
c. HCHO d. CH3CH2OH
e. HCOOH
ANSWER:Solution 99E Step 1 of 6 The compounds in this exercise are all organic molecules. We have to assume that exists a chain of atoms of Carbon that can be bonded each other by single, double or triple bonds. Moreover, we have to remember that every atom of Carbon has the possibility to form four bond maximum because it has only 4 electrons of valence.; Oxygen instead, has six electons of valence that are organized as two lone pairs and 2 single electrons that can be used to form two single bonds or a double bond. Nitrogen has 5 electrons of valence organized as a lone pair and 3 unpaired electrons that can be used to form single, double or triple bonds.
