Answer : Lewis structure is shown below.
Explanation :
Condensed structural formula : It is the organic structures of the compound are written in a line of text showing all the atoms in the molecule and omitting the vertical an horizontal bonds.
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The representation of valence electrons of an atom by dots around the symbol of an element is said to be the Lewis-dot symbol.
In the representation of Lewis-symbol, one electron dot must put on each side of the element symbol then paired the electrons.
The given molecule is, [tex]CH_3(CH_2)_2CO_2C(CH_3)_3[/tex]
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in [tex]CH_3(CH_2)_2CO_2C(CH_3)_3[/tex] = 8(4) + 16(1) + 2(6) = 60
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 52 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.
