➪What is the electron dot structure of Ethanoic acid?

• Ethanoic acid. It is a neutral molecule with molecular formula CH3COOH. The total number of electrons = 2 x valence electrons of C atom + 4 x valence electrons of H atom + 2 x valence electrons of O atom. The given compound is an acid containing a COOH group attached to CH3 group.

➪What is the electron dot structure for ethene?

• Ethene is a saturated hydrocarbon. From its name it is clear that ethene has two carbon atoms. Each carbon is sp2 hybridized and the molecular structure isCH2=CH2 . Here, carbon has a 4 valence electron

➪What is the electron dot structure for methane?

• The Lewis dot structure that is nothing but the electron dot structure failed to find the shape of methane. The valence electrons take part in chemical bonding with other atoms. Methane exists as a gaseous form in nature. Normally the gas has poor electricity conductivity as it does not have any free atoms or ions.
