(a)
To determine: The Lewis structure of the given atom, before and after the oxidation of an alcohol to an
Interpretation: The Lewis structure of the given atom, before and after the oxidation of an alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone; and the number of bonds to oxygen that each atom has before and after the oxidation is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Chromic acid is an oxidizing agent in which chromium acts as a multivalent atom. The formation of active species of chromic acid occurs by going through higher oxidation state before the oxidation to a lower oxidation state after the oxidation of alcohol.
