So, we need to draw the lewis dot structure of c2 and h3cl.
00:09
So now first of all, we will calculate the total valence electrons.
00:13
So it will be equal to the valence electrons of all the atoms.
00:16
So there are two carbon atoms multiplied by the valence electrons of carbon, plus there are three hydrogen atoms multiplied by the valence electrons of hydrogen atom plus the valence electrons of chlorine atom.
00:30
So, it will be equal to 2 multiplied by 4 that are the valence electrons of carbon plus it will be 3 multiplied by the valence electrons of hydrogen which will be 1 plus the valence electrons of chlorine will be 7.
00:43
So it will be equal to 8 plus 3 plus 7 that will be equal to the value 18 valence electrons.
00:51
Now from here we will take carbon, carbon, chlorine.
00:57
So we usually take here the central atoms as the one with the lower electron negativity...
