What is the Lewis dot diagram for C2H3OH?

Answer 1

The approximate Lewis structure of CH2O is this:

H

\

C==O

/

H

It is the most basic aldehyde, often referred to as formaldehyde. The bond lengths are:

C-H bond: 1.113 Angstroms

C=O bond: 1.208 Angstroms

The measured bond angles are:

HCH: 117.46 degrees

HCO: 121.27 degrees

Answer 2

Previous Answer: i need this too!

New Answer:

Total electrons: 8 (C) + 3 (H) + 6 (O) + 1 (H) = 18

______H

______|_____..

___H - C - C = O

______|__|___..

______H_H

Try to ignore the horizontal lines. I used them to keep the format of the structure.

It won't keep my format, but basically, you have the first Carbon bonded with 3 Hydrogen atoms (top, left, and bottom). The Carbon is bonded with the second Carbon (right) which is then double bonded to the Oxygen (which has two lone pairs, top and bottom). The second Carbon is attached to a hydrogen atom (below it), also.

That would be the best bet, I think. I did a lot of similar structures in my homework, but not this one specifically. I hope it's right, and I ! :)

Answer 3

h-c=o |
o-h


It's hard to show...but Carbon is your central atom....it is double bonded with one oxygen, single bonded with the other, and single bonded to one Hydrogen, the remaining Hydrogen is single bonded to the oxgen, that is single bonded to the carbon.


All in all, Carbon should have no more than 4 bonds, Oxygen no more than 2, and Hydrogen can only have one.
