Question
In the Lewis structure ofHOCH2CH2OH, how many valence electrons needto be shown and how many pairs of electrons are bonding and howmany are non-bonding? a) 20 valence electrons; 8 bonding pairs of electrons, 2non-bonding pairs of electrons b) 22 valence electrons; 9 bonding pairs of electrons, 2non-bonding pairs of electrons c) 24 valence electrons; 8 bonding pairs of electrons, 4non-bonding pairs of electrons d) 26 valence electrons; 9 bonding pairs of electrons, 4non-bonding pairs of electrons In the Lewis structure ofHOCH2CH2OH, how many valence electrons needto be shown and how many pairs of electrons are bonding and howmany are non-bonding? a) 20 valence electrons; 8 bonding pairs of electrons, 2non-bonding pairs of electrons b) 22 valence electrons; 9 bonding pairs of electrons, 2non-bonding pairs of electrons c) 24 valence electrons; 8 bonding pairs of electrons, 4non-bonding pairs of electrons d) 26 valence electrons; 9 bonding pairs of electrons, 4non-bonding pairs of electrons
Explanation / Answer
9 bonding pair of electrons 4 non bonding pair of electrons . 26 valence electrons . 9 bonding pair of electrons 4 non bonding pair of electrons . 26 valence electrons .
