Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of cyclopropane. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4) and hydrogen (n_H, val = 1) atoms: 3 n_C, val + 6 n_H, val = 18 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8) and hydrogen (n_H, full = 2): 3 n_C, full + 6 n_H, full = 36 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 36 - 18 = 18 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 9 bonds and hence 18 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 18 - 18 = 0 electrons left to draw and the diagram is complete: Answer: | |
