Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of the molecule whose Newman projection is given is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a Newman projection, the bond of interest connecting the atoms is not shown. But the atoms connected are shown explicitly. The front atom is shown as a point while the back atom is shown as a circle. The atoms attached to the front carbon converge at the point while the atoms attached to the back carbon are shown connected to the circle.
Answer to Problem 4.1P
The Lewis structure of the molecule is:
Explanation of Solution
The given Newman projection is:
In this Newman projection, the front carbon atom is shown by a point. It is attached to two hydrogen atoms and a methyl group. The back carbon atom is shown by a circle. It is attached to three hydrogen atoms. Thus, in the Lewis structure, there will be a chain of three carbon atoms. The molecule is propane. Its Lewis structure is shown below:
The Lewis structure of the molecule is drawn as shown above.
