CH3COCH3
Legend:
Red- Oxygen
Black- Carbon
Silver- Hydrogen
Note: The arrows signify the different electronegativity values of each element in the molecule and point to the atom which has a greater electronegativity value. An electronegativty value is the tendency for an atom to attract other electrons towards itself. For example, Oxygen, which has a negativity value of 3.6, is more negative than Carbon, which has a negativity value of 2.6, so the arrow points towards the Oxygen atom.
Electronegativity Values:
Oxygen- 3.6
Carbon- 2.6
Hydrogen- 2.2
