Then let's visualize the other two hydrogens. This bond, and this bondĪre in the same plane, so let's draw in the carbon in red, and we can draw in the hydrogen right here in the same plane, and This carbon is also SP3 hybridized, so we expect tetrahedral geometry, and if we look at this carbon, let me use yellow again. Look at the last carbon, so this carbon right here in red, so that's this one right here, and this one right here. This carbon is SP3 hybridized, we expect tetrahedral And there's another hydrogen bonded to the carbon in blue, and my thumb here isīlocking it a little bit but hopefully you can see that's going away from us in space, so this hydrogen is going away from us in space. So we represent that with a wedge, so we draw a wedge right here, and then we draw in a hydrogen, so the bond is in front of the paper, the bond is coming towards us in space. What about the other two hydrogens? Well, let me highlight those, so this hydrogen, hopefully you can see that this is coming out at us in space. So we know that this carbon, we can see that this bond, and this bond are in the same plane, so let's go ahead and draw in the carbon, so the carbon that I just put in is the carbon in blue, and this hydrogen over here on the left, right, this bond is in the same plane, so I'm going to draw a line representing the bond is in the plane of the paper, and so we All right, next, let's look at the carbon on the left here, so this carbon in blue, so that's this carbon, and I'll say that's this carbon over here on the left. So we're imagining our flat sheet of paper and the OH coming out at us, and that hydrogen going away from us. And we represent that with a dash, so I'm going to draw a dash here, showing that this hydrogen Hydrogen right here, let me go ahead and switch colors, this hydrogen is goingĪway from us in space, so this bond is going away from us in space, or into the paper, or the bond is behind the paper. We didn't draw it over here, but we know there's a hydrogen connected to that carbon, and we can see that this hydrogen, this Now let's look at what else is connected to that carbon in magenta, we know there's a hydrogen. So this is coming towards you, we would represent that with a wedge, so let me go ahead andĭraw a wedge in here, and a wedge means that the bond is in front of your paper, so this means the OH is coming out at you in space, let me draw in the OH like that. Is coming towards you in space, which is why this oxygen, this red oxygen atom, looks so big. There is an OH we can see there is an OH here, and the OH, the OH in our picture, is coming out at us in space, so hopefully you can visualize that this bond in here

Well, obviously, there is an OH, so let me go ahead and circle that. Next, let's look at what else is connected to the carbon in magenta. Go ahead and draw that, so this is the carbon in magenta, and then we have these two bonds here, and those bonds are in So a line represents a bond in the plane of the paper, let me

So if you had a flat sheet of paper, you could say those bonds are in the same plane. And if you look at that carbon on the picture here, you can see that this bond and this bondĪre in the same plane. Well, the carbon in magenta is SP3 hybridized, this is SP3 hybridized, so we would expect tetrahedral geometry around that carbon. Our Lewis dot structure, this one on our bond line structure. So we have a flat sheet of paper, how could we represent this picture on our flat sheet of paper? Let's start with the carbon in the center, so that's our carbon in magenta, so that's this one on What about three dimensionalīond line structure? So how could you represent this molecule in three dimensions, using a flat sheet of paper? Well, on the left here, is a picture where I made a model of this molecule, and this is going to help us draw this molecule in three dimensions.

The bond line structure on the right than theįull Lewis dot structure on the left. Bond line structuresĬontain the same information as a Lewis dot structure, but it's obviously much easier, much faster, to draw

On bond line structures, we started with this Lewis dot structure on the left, and I showed you how to turn this Lewis dot structure into a bond line structure.
