Question

Draw the Lewis structure for CH3CH2O2H?

Answer 1

Answer:

hydroperoxyethane

Explanation:

tomsFor the Lewis structure we have to remember that all the atoms must have 8 electrons (except for hydrogen). In this structure, we have three types of atoms, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. So, we have to remember the valence electrons for each atom:

-) Carbon : 4 electrons

-) Hydrogen: 1 electron

-) Oxygen: 6 electrons

We can start with the "$CH_3$" part. We can put 3 hydrogen bond arroun the carbon. We can use this same logic with  "$CH_2$". Finally for oxygens, we can put it one bond with $CH_2$ and a bond between oxygens with a final bond with hydrogen to obtain hydroperoxyethane.

See figure 1 for further explanations.
