The partial Lewis structure that follows is for a hydrocarbon molecule. In the full Lewis structure, each carbon atom satisfies the octet rule, and there are no unshared electron pairs in the molecule. The carbon-carbon bonds are labeled 1, 2, and 3.
A) How many hydrogen atoms are in the molecule?
B) Rank the carbon-carbon bonds in order of increasing bond length.
C) Which carbon-carbon bond is the strongest one?
