(a)
Interpretation:
The electron dot structure for the compound C2H2O is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The electron dot structure of any compound is the structure in which each element is properly represented with the help of symbols and lone pairs present on the elements are shown with the help of a pair of dots above that element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The orbital overlap picture of ethenone is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In chemistry, overlapping of orbital takes place to form bonds between the atoms. At least two orbitals must overlap with each other to form a bond. The examples of orbitals are s, p, d, f orbitals.Sigma bond involves the head to head overlapping of two orbitals; on the other hand, pi bond involves the side to side or lateral overlapping of two orbitals.
The lone pairs are unpaired electron present in the orbitals of the atom. Oxygen has two pairs of lone pair.
