Chapter 3, Problem 3.83AP
Convert the 3-D model of oxalic acid into a Lewis structure and include all nonbonded electron pairs on atoms that contain them. Oxalic acid occurs naturally in spinach and rhubarb. Although oxalic acid is toxic, you would have to eat about nine pounds of spinach at one time to ingest a fatal dose.
