Given information

Here given a structural formula is .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To draw the Lewis structure at first, we could start writing the bond structure of Propane. Since Carbon is more electronegative it will be considered as the central atom.

Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons present for the structure by adding all the valance electrons of each atom.

Total no. of valance electrons = 3  No. of valance electrons in Carbon) 8  No. of valance electrons in Hydrogen)
