What does the dot diagram for C3H8O look like?

Since Carbon can only make 4 bonds. I believe C3H8O is really with C3H7OH, commonly called propanol.

In order to keep the C's, H's, and O's in the correct place, I had to insert v's and f's.

vfvHfHfH

vvf!vf!v!

H-C-C-C-O-H

vvf!vf!v!

ffvHffHffH

There are 3 H's bonded above and below the 3 C's, 1H bonded to the first C, and an O-H bonded to the last C.

Every dash or quotation mark represents 2 dots, a pair of electrons.
