Draw the electron dot structure of ethyne and also draw its structural formula.
(N/A) The chemical formula of ethyne is $C_2H_2$.
In ethyne, there is a triple bond between the two carbon atoms and a single bond between each carbon atom and a hydrogen atom.
Electron dot structure: $H : C \vdots \vdots C : H$
Structural formula: $H - C \equiv C - H$
