Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're given the condensed formula for ethanol and were asked to draw suitable lewis dot structure for this compound. Now we know carbon and oxygen are going to be our central atoms and this is because hydrogen cannot be a central atom and our chain is going to be a carbon carbon oxygen chain. As seen in our condensed formula structure. Our terminal carbon will have three hydrogen. Our second carbon will have two hydrogen is to complete its bonds and lastly, our oxygen will have that one hydrogen to complete oxygen's octet rule. We will add two lone pairs and this will be our final lewis dot structure. So I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.

Textbook Question
The cyanate ion (OCN- ) and the fulminate ion (CNO- ) share the same three atoms but have vastly different properties. The cyanate ion is stable, while the fulminate ion is unstable and forms explosive compounds. The resonance structures of the cyanate ion are explored in Example 9.8. Draw Lewis structures for the fulminate ion—including possible resonance forms— and use formal charge to explain why the fulminate ion is less stable (and therefore more reactive) than the cyanate ion.
