Ethene - Lewis structure

Ethene (C₂H₄)

  1. Click the "+" icon and add two C (carbon) atoms. Each carbon atom will have four unpaired electrons.
  2. Click the "+" icon to add four H (hydrogen) atoms.
  3. Click on two unpaired electrons of one carbon atom and then on two unpaired electrons of the other carbon atom to form a double bond between the carbons.
  4. Click on the remaining unpaired electron of each carbon atom, then click on the unpaired electron of a hydrogen atom to form single bonds. Repeat for all four hydrogen atoms until the structure is complete.
