Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of 1, 3-butadiene. 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: 4 n_C, val + 6 n_H, val = 22 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8) and hydrogen (n_H, full = 2): 4 n_C, full + 6 n_H, full = 44 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 44 - 22 = 22 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 9 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: |   |
