Chapter 13, Problem 11E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis diagram for ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_8,{\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_6\text{O}$ and ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_8{\text{O}}_2$ are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The Lewis structure shows the connectivity between atoms by identifying the lone pairs of electrons in a compound. Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot structures. The valence electrons around an atom are shown by dots. Bonds between atoms are shown by lines and the lone pair of electrons is shown by a pair of dots.
