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.
Lewis Structure of CH2O Molecular Geometry of CH2O The oxygen atom's non-bonding pair of electrons is dispersed uniformly to lessen the attractive forces among these lone pairs of electrons inCH2O. TheCH2Ocarbon atom has a steric number of three because there are three electron zones surrounding ...
