Skeletal structure of CH(3)COOH as shown...

Skeletal structure of `CH_(3)COOH` as shown below is correct, but some of the bonds are shown incorrectly. Write the correct lewis structure for acetic acid.
`H=underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)- underset(. .)overset( :O: )overset(|)(C)-underset (. .)(O)-H`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The skeletal structure of `CH_(3)COOH` is correct, but according to Lewis theory of arrangement of electrons is not perfect. The correct Lewis structure of `CH_(3)COOH` is
`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)- overset( : O: )overset(||)(C)-underset(..)overset(..)(O)-H`
