Electron-dot structure of Methylcyclohexane? @surry99

Question

surry99 · Answer

you try first....get the total number of valence electrons as usual.

studygurl14 · Answer

30 total valence elctrons

I sorta know what the structure of methylcyclophexane is, but I'm confused as to how to draw a 2D version of it with electron dots

surry99 · Answer

Seven carbons + fourteen hydrogens = 7(4) + 14(1) = 42

surry99 · Answer

here is what it looks like

studygurl14 · Answer

oh, oops...i don't know where i got the 4 carbons...i think i was looking at the wrong problem...yea it's 42

studygurl14 · Answer

did you do that drawing?

surry99 · Answer

yes...

surry99 · Answer

Can you see the methyl group attached to the cyclohexane ring?

studygurl14 · Answer

that's good. :)

studygurl14 · Answer

yes, I can. :)

surry99 · Answer

that is why we call it methycyclohexane. You will be taught rules to name organic molecules later in organic chem.

Fantastic...gotta run...be back tomorrow..have a good night!

studygurl14 · Answer

I think I can draw the electron-dot structure now. Thanks for everything. You're amazing. :)
