Lewis structure
![Draw the Lewis structure of acetylene. 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) and hydrogen (n_H, val = 1) atoms: 2 n_C, val + 2 n_H, val = 10 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8) and hydrogen (n_H, full = 2): 2 n_C, full + 2 n_H, full = 20 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 20 - 10 = 10 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 3 bonds already present in the diagram add 2 bonds. To minimize formal charge carbon wants 4 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: | |](../image_source/9ba0e6a216ba3dfc727e67fcd174837c.png)
