Propene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and belongs to the Alkene series. In this post, we are going to learn how to draw the electron dot structure of propene.
Electron dot structure of C3H6
We will discuss the electron dot structure of propene
through the following points
1. Formula of
propene
2. Electronic
configuration of carbon
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)
