Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of 2, 6-dimethyl-5-heptenal. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds:  Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 9 n_C, val + 16 n_H, val + n_O, val = 58 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 9 n_C, full + 16 n_H, full + n_O, full = 112 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 112 - 58 = 54 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 25 bonds already present in the diagram add 2 bonds. To minimize formal charge carbon wants 4 bonds and oxygen wants 2 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom:  Fill in the 2 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms: Answer: |   |

Elemental oxidation states

The first step in finding the oxidation states (or oxidation numbers) in 2, 6-dimethyl-5-heptenal is to draw the structure diagram. Next set every oxidation number equal to the atom's formal charge:  In 2, 6-dimethyl-5-heptenal hydrogen is not bonded to a metal with lower electronegativity, so it will have an oxidation state of +1. Any element bonded to hydrogen gains the bonding electrons, decreasing their oxidation state by 1 for every bond:  With hydrogen out of the way, look at the remaining bonds. There are 1 carbon-oxygen bond, and 8 carbon-carbon bonds. For each of these bonds, assign the bonding electrons to the most electronegative element.  First examine the carbon-oxygen bond: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) |  C | 2.55 |  O | 3.44 |   | |  Since oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, the electrons in this bond will go to oxygen. Decrease the oxidation number for oxygen (by 1 for single bonds, 2 for double bonds, and 3 for triple bonds), and increase the oxidation number for carbon accordingly:  Next look at the carbon-carbon bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) |  C | 2.55 |  C | 2.55 |   | |  Since these elements are the same the bonding electrons are shared equally, and there is no change to the oxidation states:  Now summarize the results: Answer: |   | oxidation state | element | count  -3 | C (carbon) | 3  -2 | C (carbon) | 2  | O (oxygen) | 1  -1 | C (carbon) | 2  0 | C (carbon) | 1  +1 | C (carbon) | 1  | H (hydrogen) | 16
