Question
Chapter 1, Problem 6EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The total number of valance electrons in Methanol is to be calculated and the result needs to be compared with the given Lewis structure to determine if it is correct.
Concept Introduction:
The electrons present in the valance shell are called as valance electrons. In formation of a single bond 2 electrons are involved and they are termed as bond pair of electrons.
The electrons which are a part of valance shell but not involved in any bonding are known as Lone pair of electrons and they are represented as dots in Lewis structure.
