Concept explainers
Draw Lewis structures for the following organic molecules: (a) methanol
Interpretation:
Lewisstructure for the given organic molecules are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The octet rule states that every element in a main group must have eight electrons in its valence shell in order to attain noble gas configuration.
Valence electrons are the electrons that are present in the last(outer) shell of an element.
Lewis dot symbols contain dotsthat provides information about valence electrons.
Lewis structures depict bonds as lines and lone pairs as dots.
