I love how you explained this in such a simple manner! I wish I had seen this earlier, makes so much more sense than how it is taught in class. or in my book :D
You would never write "CH4O" Because you completely ignore the Hydroxyl Functional group. And you've missed The Delta + and Delta - on The Carbon & Oxygen Respectively. You've also missed the fact that Oxygen binds in a VBent shape so the Hydrogen on the Oxygen will be bent at an angle of 104.5 Degrees and you'll have 2 lone pairs on the Oxygen.
@BCDPRODUCTIONS1234 Some people would, such as my chemistry teacher. Which was most likely why I had a spot of trouble figuring out the lewis dot diagram for it.
@Cold1Forged It should never be written like that, Ethanoic Acid is CH3COOH & It shouldn't be written as C2H4O2 because its hard to find the functional group "R-COOH"
Great stuff. Although I'm looking online for a 'more detailed' explanation. If you could explain the octet rule, and....well everything; And I mean everything, I wouldn't have to go to class! Thanks! keep up the great work.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It requires 4 more to get 8. Oxygen as 6 valence electrons. It requires 2 more to get 8. You can tell the amount of valence electrons they have by looking at their column number on a periodic chart.
but why did you write carbon with 4 devided electrons instead of the 2 bounded and 2 splited.i think carbon electrical configuration should be 1S22s2p2
its just to help with organizing it your own way by not following the acutally sublevel rules. Those only apply when your drawing the actual lewis dot for a certain atom rather than in bonds
thanks dude, i was really getting stuck on trying to make one for ethanol. i'm kinda slow when it comes to chemistry and it's really hard for me to decide where to start on these diagrams
you make this SOOOO EASY!!! ahh, thank you!! :))

how do you know that C wants to bond 4 bonds and oxygen 2?
kimboleeekimkim 1 year ago
@kimboleeekimkim
They want to achieve an "octet" of 8 electrons.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It requires 4 more to get 8. Oxygen as 6 valence electrons. It requires 2 more to get 8. You can tell the amount of valence electrons they have by looking at their column number on a periodic chart.
