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.
