Question
Draw the electron dot structure of ethyne and also draw its structural formula.
✓
Answer
Ethyne is a hydrocarbon with molecular formula C2H2. Here two carbon atoms are bonded together by a triple covalent bond and one hydrogen atom is bonded with each carbon atom through a single covalent bond. Hence the electron dot structure of ethyne molecule can be representes as:
