40 electron distribution diagram of water
3. Make an electron distribution diagram of carbon. ! Carbon has 4 valence electrons, can bond to 4 items, and typically forms covalent bonds with other elements. 4. Carbon chains form skeletons. List here the types of skeletons that can be formed. Carbon skeletons vary in length. The skeleton may have double bonds, which can vary in location. The Configuration of the Water Molecule. A molecule of water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The one and only electron ring around the nucleus of each hydrogen atom has only one electron. The negative charge of the electron is balanced by the positive charge of one proton in the hydrogen nucleus. The figure below represents an electron distribution diagram where the concentric circles represent electron shells and each small circle represents an empty spot for an electron. Fill out the electron distribution diagram for the element carbon by coloring the electrons that are present; then answer the questions. ...
