6. Electron dot structure of butyne

Formula of butyne

`C_4H_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

Butyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon so carbon atoms form a main chain.

Structural formula of butyne

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 triple bond between any two carbon atoms.

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

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