Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}H_2CO_3 {/eq}. Show the dipole moments on each bond.

Question:

Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}H_2CO_3 {/eq}. Show the dipole moments on each bond.

Lewis structure:


Lewis's structure shows the bonding between the atoms in a molecule and the electrons existing in a particular molecule. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms that are forming a bond, then the electron density of that bond will be more near the more electronegative atom.
