To draw its Lewis structure, we must follow standard rules for Lewis structures: count valence electrons, connect atoms with bonds, and satisfy the octet rule where applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Count Total Valence Electrons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C: 4 valence electrons \u00d7 1 = 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>N: 5 valence electrons \u00d7 2 = 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>H: 1 valence electron \u00d7 6 = 6<br><strong>Total = 4 + 10 + 6 = 20 valence electrons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Determine Skeleton Structure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The molecule has a methyl group (CH\u2083) bonded to a nitrogen (N), which is bonded to another nitrogen (N), which is then bonded to two hydrogens. So the skeletal arrangement is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H\u2083C\u2013N\u2013N\u2013H\u2082<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Connect Atoms with Single Bonds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carbon bonds to three H atoms and one N atom (CH\u2083\u2013N).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First nitrogen bonds to the methyl carbon and the second nitrogen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second nitrogen bonds to the first nitrogen and two hydrogen atoms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Add Lone Pairs and Complete Octets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After connecting all atoms, distribute the remaining electrons as lone pairs, especially to nitrogen atoms which require an octet. Nitrogen typically forms 3 bonds and has one lone pair:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first N (connected to CH\u2083 and the second N) forms two bonds, so it will have one lone pair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second N forms three bonds (to the first N and two H atoms), also needing one lone pair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Check Octets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C has 4 bonds (octet complete).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each N has 3 bonds and 1 lone pair (octet complete).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each H has one bond (duet complete).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This structure is stable and satisfies formal charges and the octet rule, making it the correct Lewis structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner7-79.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223978\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Draw the Lewis Structure of CH3NHNH2 The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Lewis Structure of CH\u2083NHNH\u2082 (Methylhydrazine) Here&#8217;s the step-by-step Lewis Structure for CH\u2083NHNH\u2082: Explanation CH\u2083NHNH\u2082, known as methylhydrazine, is an organic molecule composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N).
