Question

electronic structure of propyne

Answer 1

Answer :

Electron-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

The given molecule is, Propyne

As we know that, carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

So, the total number of valence electrons in propyne, $C_3H_4$ = 3(4) +4(1) = 16

According to electron-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 0 number of non-bonding electrons.

The electron-dot structure of propyne is shown below.
