Interpretation: To determine the electron dot structure.
Concept Introduction: The primary distinction between single double and triple bonds is the number of shared electrons. When two atoms share one pair of electrons, a single bond is created; when they share two pairs, a double bond is created. Triple bonds are created by sharing three pairs of electrons, or six atoms.
Answer to Problem 123A
With the help of Lewis’s structure, the electron dot structure can be shown. Single bond by one line, double bond by 2 lines, and triple bond by 3 lines.
Explanation of Solution
In an electron dot structure single bond can be represented by a single line, a double bond is represented by a double and a triple bond is represented by three lines. The single bond will form by sharing one electron, the double bond will form by sharing 2 electrons and the triple bond will form by sharing 3 electrons.
