A Lewis Structure is a simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. There are two hydrogen atoms, one carbon atom, and one oxygen atom in the CH2O lewis structure. The oxygen and carbon atoms have a double bond.
prevent repulsive forces, the electron clouds must be as wide apart as feasible. Additionally, because there are zero lone pairs of electrons on the central atom ofCH2O, the bound pair of electrons is equally distributed, and each atom has a 120-degree bond angle with the central atom of...
