3. Given the Lewis electron-dot diagram:
H
H:C:H
I: 0:1
Which electrons are represented by all of the dots?
1) the carbon and hydrogen valence electrons
2) the carbon valence electrons, only
3) all of the carbon and hydrogen electrons
4) the hydrogen valence electrons, only

Answer :

Answer:

1) the carbon and hydrogen valence electrons

Explanation:

The lewis dot diagram illustrates how electrons are arranged round atoms in a molecule. The dots represents the;

1) the carbon and hydrogen valence electrons

The lewis dot structure has been the representation of the valence electrons of carbon and hydrogen. Thus, option A is correct.

The lewis dot structure has been used for the determination of the bonding in the structure with the help of dots. The dots in the structure have been the representation of the electrons in the structure.

The given structure has consisted of the bonds between hydrogen and carbon. The given lewis dot structure has consisted of the 2 dots representing the two electrons i.e. one of hydrogen and one of carbon shared between the atoms.

Thus, the lewis dot structure has been the representation of the valence electrons of carbon and hydrogen. Thus, option A is correct.
