Concept explainers
(I)
Interpretation: The Lewis structures of the give skeletal structures are to be determined and the questions based on them are to be answered.
Concept introduction: The Lewis structure is the representation of a species in which the total valence electrons of the species is shown surrounding each atom in the species.
The more is the number of bonds present between the two atoms, the shorter is the bond.
To determine: The Lewis structures of the give skeletal structures.
(II)
(a)
To determine: The molecule that is an alkyne.
(b)
To determine: The molecule that has the shortest bond between the two carbon atoms.
(c)
To determine: The molecule that is an aldehyde.
