Question

Total number of electrons and number of electrons involves in formation of various bonds present in one molecules of ethanol are?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of bonds in ethanol are 8. Each bond is made of 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons involved in the formation of various bonds present in one molecule of ethanol is 8×2=16.

The molecular formula of ethanol is (CH₃CH₂OH)

Each C atom has 6 electrons.

Each H atom has 1 electron.

Each O atom has 8 electrons.

Hence, the number of electrons present in one molecule of ethanol =2(6)+6(1)+1(8) = 26 electrons.
