Question
Chapter 1, Problem 14EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The total number of electrons in the given molecular skeleton is to be calculated and there by the Lewis structure is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The electrons present in the valance shell are called as valance electrons. A single bond is formed by involving two valance electrons. The valance electrons which are not involved in bonding are called as lone pair of electrons and they are usually represented as dots over the atom.

The curved arrow notation is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Since each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following reaction. Choose the correct image that shows the curved arrows to show the movement of electrons.
Please label the organic and inorganic species so I can know which answer is to what part of the question.
The compound shown here is classified as what type of organic compound?
