Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Lewis structure of a covalent compound in which carbon has four single bonds should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The substance having a similar atom is called an element. When two or more elements combined together chemically they form a pure substance called a compound. But in the case of a mixture, it is formed when two substances joined together without any
(b)
Interpretation:
Lewis structure of a covalent compound in which carbon has two single bonds and one double bond should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The substance having a similar atom is called an element. When two or more elements combined together chemically they form a pure substance called a compound. But in the case of a mixture, it is formed when two substances joined together without any chemical bonding. An example of a compound is H2O, and an example of an element is N, an example of a mixture is a mixture of sand and sugar.
(c)
Interpretation:
Lewis structure of a covalent compound in which carbon has two double bonds should be drawn.
