Question:
Draw a Lewis structure for {eq}\displaystyle \rm C_4H_8CHCH_2 {/eq}.
Lewis Structures of Reaction Intermediates
The chemical formula of substances may give hints on their Lewis structure. However, keep in mind that the carbon atom must always follow the octet rule. Following this rule, regular hydrocarbons will have an even number of hydrogens. In case the number of hydrogens is even, the hydrocarbon may be a carbocation or a carbanion.
