Interpretation:
The Lewis structure and the molecular shapes of the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In a Lewis structure, lines are represented for the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the dots for the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Molecular shape can be predicted from the Lewis structure by using the valence-shell Electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model.
-Draw the Lewis structure.
-Count the number of valence electron pairs (bond pairs and lone pairs).
-Assume that the valence electron pairs form a structure that allows them to be as far away from each other as possible.
-If there are only two valence electron pairs, the molecule is linear.
-If there are three valence electron pairs, the molecule is shaped like a trigonal planar.
-If there are four valence electron pairs, the molecule is shaped as a regular tetrahedral.

The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane", "nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for larger hydrocarbons. Question: how many carbon dioxide molecules are formed from combustion of one molecule of decane? Methane CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H2O Propane C3H3 +502 – → 3CO2+4H2O C10 H22 + 15.502 10CO2 + 11H20 Decane -arrow_forward
