Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of vitamin C is to be drawn and the positions of multiple bonds are to indicated if there any multiple bond.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structures is also known as Lewis dot structures which represents lines for the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the dots for the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms.
The valence electrons of Carbon are 4 electrons (requires 4 electrons to achieve octet).
The valence electrons of Oxygen are 6 electrons (requires 2 electrons to achieve octet).
The valence electrons of Hydrogen are 1 electron.
The sharing of one electron from two atoms constitutes a single bond between the two atoms. The sharing of two electrons from two atoms constitutes a double bond between the two atoms
