Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
1. How many valence electrons does this alcohol have? 2. How many bonded electrons does this alcohol have? 3. How many lone pairs of electrons does this alcohol have? 4. How many single bonds does this alcohol have?
1 answer:
Answer :
(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20
(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16
(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4
(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.
The Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
