Chapter 26, Problem 6E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Lewis structure of the ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{COOH}$ should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Organic compounds are the compound that contains a carbon atom which is covalently bonded to a hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

A covalently bonded carbon atom means carbon atoms has shared its valence electrons with another atom.

An organic compound that contains a functional group $\text{COOH}$ is known as a carboxylic acid group.

An organic compound that contains a functional group $\text{CN}$ is known as a nitrile group.

An organic compound that contains a functional group ${\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}$ is known as amine group.

A Lewis structure is a structure that represents electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom in the form of dots. Each valence electron is represented by a dot. This structure is also known as Lewis dot structure.
