Chapter 4.2, Problem 4.9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure of formic acid CH2O2 needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Lewis structures are used to represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons present in it.

Polar bond has an unequal electron distribution between two atoms. The polar nature of a bond can be determined using the electronegativity difference between two atoms.

Blurred answer
