Answer: The bonds are intermediate between double and single bonds
Explanation:
A closer look at the diagram below shows that the bonds in sulphur IV oxide are intermediate between double and single bonds. Hence they do not have the exact bond angle of single bonds. This is why the bond angle is not exactly 120°. There are two resonance structures in the diagram that clearly show this point.
Answer:
Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.
Explanation:
A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.
H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.
So the central atom must be either C or O.
The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.
So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.
Then attach an O atom to get C-O.
Finally, attach the H atoms.
The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.
The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.
The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.
