Write the chemical formula and Lewis structure of the following each of which contains five carbon atoms:
(a) an
(b) an
(c) an
a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula and Lewis structure of an alkane with five carbon atoms are to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon multiple bonds are present that is double and triple bond.
The completely saturated hydrocarbon is known as an alkane.
The general molecular formula of alkane is
Answer to Problem 1E
Chemical formula:
Lewis structure:
Pentane
Explanation of Solution
The general formula of alkane is
In case of five carbon atoms, the molecular formula of alkane is
- Lewis structures are the diagrams that show the bonding between the atoms of the molecules and existing lone pairs of electrons.
- Bonding electrons are those electrons which are shared between the atoms resulting in the formation of bond.
- Non-bonding electrons are the valence electrons of the atom which are not shared with another atom.
Number of valence electrons in a carbon atom = 4
Number of valence electrons in a hydrogen atom = 1
Total number of valence electrons =
= 32
Thus, Lewis structure of alkane having five carbon atoms is:
Or,
b)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula and Lewis structure of an alkene with five carbon atoms are to be written.
