______________________________________________________________________________________________ YAHOO Anwsers: What are the possible isomers of c7h8o2? I need to draw the structures of isomers of C7H8O2. So, it would be helpful to have molecule written out so I would know how to draw the structures. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The Lewis Structure for C7H8O2 (one possible isomer): ______________________________________________________________________________________________ CHEMICAL NAME: Salicylic Alcohol MOLECULAR FORM: C7H8O2 • • RESONANCES: 2 H H VALENCES: e e Carbon 4 \ • - • • - • / Hydrogen 1 e e---e e • Oxygen 6 | C | | C | H ELECTRON e • • e e TOTAL: 48 / e - • • - e \ ¦ • - e / \ e - • • - e e - e • H e---e e e e---e e---e e---e H • | C | | C | | C | | O | • • • • • • • • • - e e - • • - e e - e \ • - • • - • / ¦ e e---e e e | C | | C | H e e---e e • / • - • • - • \ e e - • H e • • | O | e e---e H • Note: Hydrogen atoms are duet not octet. e - e ¦ = --- = / = \ = Covalent bond symbols. e = One electron. • = Place holder for absent electron (possible location of an electron). ______________________________________________________________________________________________ By Jim Shook 6/11/2007
