15. The only structure that gives both oxygen <strong>and</strong> carbon an octet of electrons is the following:<br />

17. The student’s proposed structure has two flaws: the hydrogen atom with the double bond<br />

has four valence electrons (H can only accommodate two electrons), <strong>and</strong> the carbon bound to<br />

oxygen only has six valence electrons (it should have an octet). An acceptable Lewis structure is<br />
