Electron dot structure of propyne class 10

Propyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and belongs to Alkyne series. In this post, we are going to learn how to draw the electron dot structure of propyne.

We will discuss the electron dot structure of propyne through the following points

 

 

1. Formula of propyne

2. Electronic configuration of carbon

3. Electronic configuration of hydrogen

4. Find the central atom in the compound

5. Draw the structural formula of propyne

6. Electron dot structure of propyne

 

Formula of propyne

`C_3H_4`

Electronic configuration of carbon

`1s^2 2s^2 2p^2`

Carbon has four valence electrons in the outermost shell.

Electronic configuration of hydrogen

`1s^1`

Hydrogen has one valence electron in the outermost shell.

Find the central atom in the compound

Propyne  is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and carbon atoms form a main chain. propyne has three carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms.

Structural formula of propyne

The carbon atom requires four electrons to complete its octet and the hydrogen atom requires one more electron to attain a stable noble gas configuration.

There is one triple bond present between any two carbon atoms.

 Two carbon atoms share 3- electrons with each other forming a triple bond.

The rest of the bonds are single bonds that are formed by sharing 1-1 electron between two atoms (carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen)
