Chapter 11, Problem 93CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The complete Lewis structures of ethyl formate and n- propyl cyanide have to be drawn. The electron pair geometry and molecular geometry around each atom, and bond angles have to be identified

Concept Introduction:

Lewis structure:

The representation of valence shell electrons around the atom is known as Lewis structure or Lewis dot structure.  Electrons are represented as a dot in Lewis structures, a single dot represents unpaired electron and paired of dots represents paired electrons.
