The skeletal structure of `CH_(3)COOH` as shown below is correct but some of the bonds are wrongly shown. Write the correct Lewis structures of acetic acid.
`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(* *)overset(":"O":")overset(|)C-underset(* *)O-H`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To write the correct Lewis structure of acetic acid (CH₃COOH), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the atoms and their connectivity Acetic acid consists of two carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. The skeletal structure indicates that one carbon (C) is connected to three hydrogens (H) and the other carbon is connected to one hydroxyl group (OH) and one oxygen (O). ### Step 2: Count the total number of valence electrons - Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons, and there are 2 carbon atoms: 2 × 4 = 8 electrons - Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron, and there are 4 hydrogen atoms: 4 × 1 = 4 electrons ...
