Hello everyone, in this video we need to draw the structure for this.
00:02
First let's count the number of valence electrons.
00:06
The valence electrons would be, since there are two carbons, so 4 electrons for carbon into 2 plus 1 electron for hydrogen into 3 hydrogen plus 7 electrons for chlorine into 1.
00:19
So here the total number of electrons that is 8 plus 3 plus 7 would be 18 electrons.
00:26
Now let's draw the structure.
00:28
So it would be one carbon, second carbon and let's draw the chlorine over here.
00:33
So with carbon the hydrogens are attached, hydrogen, hydrogen.
00:41
Over here also we can add hydrogen, here also hydrogen.
00:46
So now we need to give the number of electrons.
00:48
So let's provide the electrons.
00:50
So we can give 1 electron for hydrogen, 1 for carbon, 1 for hydrogen, 1 for carbon.
00:57
Here also 1 for hydrogen, 1 for carbon.
01:00
Here, here 7 electrons for, here again on this side, carbon would be having 1 electron on this side, carbon would be having 1 electron on this side, here also 1 electron for carbon.
01:13
Now for chlorine we can add the 7 electrons for chlorine, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
01:27
So now we need to see that whether the octet is completed or not.
01:31
Here we can see that the hydrogen is having 2 electrons, it is sharing 1 from carbon and completing its octet.
01:36
Like this we can see that, that the octet is completed over here with hydrogen.
01:42
On this also hydrogen is sharing 2 electrons, that is 1 of hydrogen and 1 for carbon and the octet is completed...
