A chemical reaction produces formaldehyde, with a chemical formula of CH2O. Carbon is in Group 4A, oxygen is in Group 6A, and hydrogen is in Group 1A on the periodic table. In one to two sentences, describe the bonds in a molecule of formaldehyde in terms of valence electrons.(2 points)

From my teacher : Group 1 has 1 Ve-, Group 4 has 4 Ve-, Group 6 has 6 Ve-. How might these arrange so that carbon and oxygen both have 8 and each hydrogen has 2?
