Re: Sapling HW #18

Hi, a helpful tip is that you can draw the lewis structure in the way you read the molecule. For example, H2CCH2 will have 2 hydrogens bonding with the 1st and last carbon. So you can draw the carbons first (c-c) then can add the hydrogens on both ends of the lewis structure. After drawing the lewis...
