3. Electronic configuration of hydrogen

4. Find the central atom in the compound

5. Draw the structural formula of propene

6. Electron dot structure of propene

 

Formula of propene

`C_3H_6`

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

Propene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and carbon atoms form a main chain.

Structural formula of propene

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 double bond present between any two carbon atoms.

 Two carbon atoms share 2-2 electrons with each other forming a double 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)
