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)
