Chapter 10.4, Problem 10.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure and condensed structural formulas for the four alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O should be determined and each alcohol should be classified as primary, secondary and tertiary.

Concept Introduction:

The Lewis structures are the dot symbols that states the atom’s valence electrons of a molecules. These valence electrons of the atoms exist in either lone pairs or they stay in the bonds.
