To draw the Lewis structure of the molecule propane (CH₃CH₂CH₃), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the number of atoms and their valence electrons - Propane consists of 3 carbon (C) atoms and 8 hydrogen (H) atoms. - Each carbon atom has 4 valence electrons, and each hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. ### Step 2: Calculate the total number of valence electrons - Total valence electrons = (Number of C atoms × Valence electrons of C) + (Number of H atoms × Valence electrons of H) ...
