Chapter 1, Problem 1.60P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given line structure of sucrose, a complete Lewis structure including all hydrogen atoms and lone pairs is to be drawn

Concept introduction:

Line structures are compact like condensed structures. In the line structures, carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms attached to them are not drawn explicitly. A carbon atom is implied at the intersection of two bonds and at the end of each bond. Atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are drawn. Non-bonding electrons are usually not shown unless they are important to emphasize an aspect of the atom. In the Lewis structure, lone pairs are drawn considering the octet of each atom.
