Provides better tutorial than our teachers, still earns way less...

[shivaniyadav]

Wow what an amazing explanation thank you

[chemistrytutoring]

All the compounds in this molecule are from even groups of the periodic table and the charge is also an even number so there would be no unpaired electrons in the structure. Draw single bonds and add a double bond to fix up the total charge.

I m french but I UNDERSTAND!
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Why does the oxygen atom have more than 6 valence electrons .

[nazakat]

How you know that negative charge is on oxygen atoms and not on carbon ...plzz explain

[Islamic-lecturesss]

I don't why only one double bond the carbon have 6 ve where is the rest ve

[jen-xlfq]

why can't you have 2 double bonds?

[Sanju_gym]

How oxygen can get extra pair of electron when carbon has only four valence electrons

Hello everyone, I did not understand anything
