Question

There are two molecules with the formula C2H6O. Draw electron-dot structures for both. (Hint: The connection of atoms is different in the two structures.)

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Ethyl alcohol ( ethanol)

2) di methyl ether(methoxymethane)

Explanation:

1) Ethyl alcohol ( ethanol)

CH₃ - CH₂ - OH

         H        H

H  -    C -     C   -  O  -  H

         H         H

2) di methyl ether(methoxymethane)

CH₃ - O - CH₃

            H                    H  

H    -    C    -    O    -    C   -     H

            H                     H
