Formula of butene

`C_4H_8`

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

Butene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Carbon atoms are joined to form the main chain.

Structural formula of butene

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 a double bond between any two carbon atoms.

Two carbon atoms share 2 -2 electrons forming a double bond.

The other bonds present between carbon atoms and carbon and hydrogen atoms are single bonds that are formed after sharing 1-1 electrons.
