00:01 Hello students, let's begin with this question.
00:02 This question is based upon the lewis dot structure.
00:07 So, generally the lewis in the lewis dot structure, the valence electrons, these are represented by the dots.
00:19 So, here in this question, some options are the given and we have to find out the correct lewis structure of the methanol.
00:27 So, this is the methanol.
00:30 So, now here, if we see, carbon has the 4 valence electrons, then comes the hydrogen, then hydrogen has the 1 valence electron, then comes the oxygen, then the oxygen has the 6 valence electrons.
00:49 So, now here, now if we see the total valence electrons, so this is equals to 4 plus 3 into 1 plus 6 plus 1.
01:03 So, there are total 14 valence electrons that are present in the methanol.
01:08 So, now if we see from the given options, the first lewis structure is the, here is the carbon having the 3 hydrogens and here is the oxygen, but there are 2 hydrogens are attached to it.
01:20 So, here comes the positive charge.
01:23 So, this will have, this is the option c, this will have the plus 1 formal charge.
01:29 So, next is the, now also we have to calculate the formal charge here...
