In the Lewis dot structure for H2CCH2, how many bonds are between the carbon atoms? 3
4
1
2

2

Explanation:

The compound H2CCH2 has the condensed formula C2H4. The name of the compound is ethene. The compound is unsaturated, that is, it contains multiple bonds. The compound has a formula which fits into the general molecular formulae of alkenes (olefins) which his CnH2n.

Olefins have a double bonds between the carbon atoms. That is , the two carbon atoms in Olefins are connected via a double covalent bond. This now implies that the two carbon atoms in ethene (C2H4) are connected by two covalent bonds in the lewis structure of the molecule as is common for Olefins.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
