What is the Lewis structure for H2CO3? How is this determined?
Yes, please!
Okay, so first we need to determine the number of valence electrons for each atom in the molecule. For H2CO3, we have 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms. This gives us a total of 2(1) + 4 + 3(6) = 24 valence electrons.
