There are 10 hydrogen atoms that bind and there are 2 pairs of free electrons in the non-binding O atom
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing carbonyl groups (-CO-) where one bond binds to an alkyl group while another binds to a hydrogen atom.
The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula :
Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al
Butanal or butyraldehyde is an aldehyde which has 4 C atoms
Inside the structure there are 3 atoms involved in bonding:
- 1. Atom C with 4 valence electrons, requires 4 electrons to reach the octet
- 2. Atom O with 6 valence electrons, requires 2 electrons to reach the octet
- 3. Atom H with 1 valence electron, requires 1 electron to reach a duplet
In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:
- 1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
- 2. Give each bond a pair of electrons
- 3. The remaining electrons are given to the atomic terminal so that an octet is reached
- 4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
- 5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds
In the Butanal structure (C₄H₈O) there is 1 double bond of the functional group (-CHO) between the C atom and the O atom
