Question 4.19b in 6th edition

Postby Samantha Man 1L » Wed Nov 14, 2018 4:55 pm

This question asks to find the shape and bond angles for (CH3)2Be, but I'm not sure how to draw the Lewis structure for this compound. Where would the 6th hydrogen attach to?

You would have 3 hydrogens on each carbon. But, the carbons are not attached to each other. Instead, the Be is bonded to each C.

H3CBeCH3
