Draw Lewis structure for `CH_(3)COOH`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw the Lewis structure for acetic acid (CH₃COOH), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Count the total number of valence electrons - **Carbon (C)** has 4 valence electrons. There are 2 carbon atoms in CH₃COOH, so: \(2 \times 4 = 8\) electrons. - **Hydrogen (H)** has 1 valence electron. There are 4 hydrogen atoms, so: \(4 \times 1 = 4\) electrons. - **Oxygen (O)** has 6 valence electrons. There are 2 oxygen atoms, so: ...
